Ring-ditch in Rathnew

This circular ring-ditch was revealed by geophysical survey c.14m SE of a large conjoined ringfort (WM024-066----) in 2004 (Schot 2005; 2011). It is evidenced geophysically as a positive annular feature, c.9m in diameter, which is best defined on the N where it has a maximum width of c.1.5m. There are a number of gaps in its perimeter, on the W, S and E, some or all of which may be the result of disturbance by ploughing. A pit-type feature lies at the centre of the enclosed area.
