What is recorded here
Ring-ditch in Castleboy is a hidden circle beneath the soil of County Meath, waiting for eyes sharp enough to see its ghost.
Geophysical survey within Rath na Rí and W of the Forradh (ME031-033010-) identified at least six arcs of geophysical anomalies (Newman 1977, 88, figs 24, 25), but the evidence is too tenuous at the moment to conclusively identify all the individual monuments. This is described as a possible ring-ditch (diam. c. 12m) indicated by a positive magnetic anomaly with a possible opening at S (ibid. 332).
