What is recorded here
Donaghmore holds a hidden ring-ditch, ten metres across, waiting beneath the soil. It joins another ditch southwest and a ringfort southeast, forming a forgotten neighbourly triangle. People may have lived, buried, or marked time at that small circle before the land forgot them.
Aerial photograph (GB90.CE.31, 14 July 1990) shows cropmark of a ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m). There is another ring-ditch (KK010-161----) c. 200m to the SW and a ringfort (KK010-006----) c. 200m to the SE.
