What is recorded here

Ring-ditch in Summerhill is a hidden circular feature beneath County Louth soil, with an eight-metre cairn and a wider fifteen-metre cropmark. It is not a distant myth but a shaped place where human hands may have marked time, memory or claim. The grass still covers the ditch, yet the circle remains large enough to enter, imagine and remember.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Circular cairn (LH011-044002-) (diam. c. 8m) conjoined with cropmark ring (diam. c. 15m). (CUCAP, BDP 45)
