Ring-ditch in Kilriffin

Ring-ditch

What is recorded here

Kilriffin holds a hidden ring on the summit of Drumran Hill, where a small circular enclosure still marks the heart of a larger lost fort. Ploughs have shaved most of the earthworks flat, yet the north-western and western edges may still break the soil. The field hides more than it reveals, waiting for rain or patience to draw its shape again.
Aerial photograph (GB92.FD.37) shows cropmark of circular enclosure, probably a hillfort, defined by a bank and an external ditch (ME006-062001-). A small circular enclosure is located at the centre of the enclosure, possibly a ring-ditch or house site. Located on the summit of Drumran Hill. It is mainly plough-levelled, but low-level earthworks may survive in the north-western segment of the enclosure and in the western segment.
