What is recorded here
Four ring-ditches crowd Sliguff like forgotten coins dropped in a pocket, their shallow trenches hidden beneath grass and soil. They may have marked burial, ritual or boundary, but the land keeps that purpose quiet. The closest ones sit within sight of each other, suggesting a place people returned to rather than a single accidental hole.
Aerial photograph (GB96.GF.06) shows cropmark of a ring-ditch; one of four ring-ditches located in close proximity (see also CW019-109----, CW019-115---- and CW019-116----).
