Hi Keith, There were some already mapped in my area and so I started mapping some myself here, http://histosm.org/#11/-9.1571/53.827/0/
HistOSM gives a clearer picture of these kinds of things, the more historical things get, the less relevant they are for OSM though. I wonder is it possible to add to HistOSM but not to OSM??? I have used the following tagging, which I adapted from somewhere else in Ireland. I also try to add the names if possible. historic = archaeological_site site_type= fortification fortification_type = ringfort But I have seen other tagging schemes such as: - historic=archaeological_site - type=ringfort - archaeological_site=fort - historic=archaeological_site - name=Abbey Grey Fort - source=GSGS 3906 - archaeological_site=cashel - historic=archaeological_site - man_made=embankment Some might argue that ringforts are not important to map, and I suppose they are insignificant if there is no trace of them visible (possibly good to map them for Histosm.org though!). In rural areas, ringforts can be important landmarks and also townland names are sometimes named after ringforts and it's rewarding to see a ringfort in a certain townland in that case. Note that the rings/ways don't appear in the OSM standard view, just a archaeological symbol. I stopped mapping ringforts for a few reasons. (1) There is just way to many of them around (2) not sure of the tagging scheme to use myself (3) Somehow hoping that the National Monuments Service will provide their open data at some point in the future (4) Not sure how useful this data is for OSM. http://webgis.archaeology.ie/historicenvironment/ As far as I can see there is no "standard" for mapping ringforts in Ireland and no way to distinguish Carn/ringforts etc. Hopefully we can decide on some standard way of tagging ringforts in this discussion and I would be happy to add them again too.
