Ring-ditch in Sliguff

Ring-ditch

What is recorded here

Sliguff holds four ring-ditches close together, their earth long since levelled but still visible in crop growth. They may have marked homes, rites or boundaries for people who moved through County Carlow before written memory. The land keeps their shapes in shadow and colour, waiting for rain or sunlight to reveal them again.
