Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Ring / Fort / Castle

[Killian Driscoll]

Hi,
I think the tags need to be looked at seriously and amended: for example "
fortification=ring_ditch" ring ditches are not known to be fortifications;
see
http://webgis.archaeology.ie/NationalMonuments/WebServiceQuery/Lookup.aspx
for terms

"doubled-ringed ringfort" these are called"bivallate ringforts".

Maybe someone would like to take their time to look at
http://webgis.archaeology.ie/NationalMonuments/WebServiceQuery/Lookup.aspx
and compile a list of the correct terminology?

[OSM-talk-ie] Ring / Fort / Castle

[Colm Moore]

Hi,


There was a discussion of this last week. I've done a summary of related tags 
as they are currently in use in Ireland / Northern Ireland. It's an extract 
from http://stat.latlon.org/ie/latest/


While they might not have huge currency, they are a perfectly mapable feature.
