What is recorded here

Ring-ditch in Castleboy is a ghost in the ground, not a marble hall. Four or five magnetic points still twitch under the soil, perhaps marking a seven-metre ditch that people dug, forgot and stopped naming. The land has not let go. It is merely waiting for someone to stop measuring and start listening.

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. 7m) indicated by four or five discrete positive magnetic anomalies (ibid. 331).
