Ring-ditch in Beaconstown

Ring-ditch

What is recorded here

Five shallow ditches circle each other in Beaconstown like forgotten coins, their edges visible only when dry grass grows uneven. They sit beside a larger ringfort, suggesting a small cluster of homes, burial marks or boundary games rather than one grand palace. The land still holds the shape of human hands, waiting for rain or memory to reveal how often people walked around them.
Aerial photograph (CUCAP ASU 65), shows cropmarks of what are probably five small ring-barrows or ring-ditches (KD037-031001-/005-), in close proximity (est. max diam. c. 15m), defined by cropmarks of fosses. Cropmark of probable ringfort (KD037-019----) is adjacent. Date of upload: 15 September 2016
