What is recorded here
Located in a large arable field on the SW slopes of Knockbrack Hill, this ring-ditch is part of a palimpsest of field systems and enclosures. The ring-ditch is located within the SE quadrant of the Knockbrack ceremonial enclosure (DU004-012006-), c. 113 from the summit of the hill (H 586ft OD) where a barrow (DU004-0120067-) is located. The ring-ditch is clearly visible on Apple Maps (June 2018). It comprises a circular feature (ext. diam. c. 4m) defined by a ditch (Wth <1m).
