What is recorded here

A group of six ring-ditches situated in a slight hollow on a fairly level landscape are placed c. 100m apart on land that was once part of the demesne of Headfort House. They are only visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. This perfectly circular feature (diam. c. 25m) is defined by a continuous fosse, and it could have a pit at its centre. The perimeter is cut at the E edge by the cropmark of a NE-SW drain that is represented as the SE boundary of a wood on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. The complex was first reported by Anthony Murphy. See the attached enhanced aerial view from Apple Maps Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 January 2020
