Geophysical survey (Licence no. 12R010) undertaken by the Discovery Programme as part of the ‘Late Iron Age and “Roman” Ireland’ project identified archaeological activity towards the summit of a prominent hilltop. Located east of two other ring ditches (DU005-174001-; DU005-174002-) this monument (8m diam.) is associated with what is interpreted as possible burnt material (Dowling 2013, 10). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 2 February 2015 - DU005-174004: Ring-ditch, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU005-174004-. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 12R010) undertaken by the Discovery Programme as part of the ‘Late Iron Age and “Roman” Ireland’ project identified archaeological activity towards the summit of a prominent hilltop. Located 15m S of another ring ditch (DU005-174003-) this monument is defined by two concentric annular ditches measuring 6m and 11m respectively (Dowling 2013, 10). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 2 February 2015 - DU005-178: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU005-178----. The monument is situated on a S facing slope with broad views E to the sea, very extensive views S taking in Lambay Island at the SE and restricted by local planting to the W and rising ground upslope to the N. A sub-circular area defined by a single fosse identified on digital globe aerial photography dating to the 24th of June 2018. The area defined measures approximately 42m E-W and 41m N-S. Considering the scale and location of this feature it is likely to represent a levelled ringfort, hence the classification as such.
