What is recorded here

Ring-ditch in Courtlough is a bivallate ring-ditch hidden beneath a large arable field in County Dublin, Ireland. Its two concentric ditches form an unbroken circle, with the outer reaching about 30.8m across and the inner about 16.7m across. It lies near older burial marks, suggesting the field has long held more than crops.

Located in the NE corner of a large arable field, c. 210m SE of cist and pit burials (DU005-079----), cropmarks indicate the presence of a subsurface bivallate ring-ditch. The ring-ditch, clearly visible on Google Earth imagery (7 May 2017), comprises an outer concentric ditch (ext. diam. c. 30.8m); Wth c. 2m) and inner ditch (ext. diam. c. 16.7m; Wth c. 2m). There are no obvious gaps across the ditches. Compiled by: Tom Condit Uploaded on 20 April 2020
