Place & story
A central pit
An aerial photograph identified a single ring-ditch with a central pit in Milltown. The National Monuments Service places it among a dense concentration of levelled monuments recorded from several aerial surveys in this area. Milltown’s ring-ditch lies about 220 metres northwest of the main concentration. The record describes a cropmark, rather than an excavated structure, and does not assign it a precise date. [2]
