What is recorded here
Ring-ditch in Cullenhill, County Dublin, is an 8.4m circular void cut into an arable field 550m from Balrothery Church. Its unbroken ditch suggests exclusion rather than invitation, as if someone marked a boundary no person should cross. The land has since been farmed, yet the circle remains visible from above, waiting for the meaning its maker withheld.
Located in large arable field c. 550m SSE of Balrothery Church (DU05-057003-). The ring-ditch, clearly visible on Google Earth imagery (24 June 2018), comprises a circular area (ext. diam. c. 8.4m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.8m). There is no evidence for an entrance gap across the ditch.
