Ring-ditch in Athcarne

Ring-ditch in Athcarne is a ghost circle on a Meath ridge, visible only when grass grows uneven above its buried ditch. It lies sixty metres west of a rath, as if two households shared one ridge but kept separate doors. The ditch is wide enough to swallow a child or a decision, and unbroken enough to suggest whoever dug it finished before dying. Colin Byrne saw the shape before people flew over it, which means the land gave itself up to a patient eye rather than a camera.
