[OSM-talk-ie] Raths / ringforts

[Colm Moore]

Hi,


https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fortification%20type=ringfort?uselang=en-GB


Was someone running a project on mapping / tidying-up raths / ringforts? I 
notice many are mapped in Cork and Kilkenny, but few elsewhere.

I haven't come across many of these until the last few weeks. In that time, I 
seem to have been tagging them incorrectly.

Can I check the correct tagging is:
historic=archaeological_site
site_type=fortification
fortification_type=ringfort ?

I checked http://stat.latlon.org/ie/latest/ for the word "fort", (I didn't 
check for name~fort or description~fort) and there are many tagging variations 
(not all of these will be ringforts).

archaeological_site=earthworks
archaeological_site=fort
archaeological_site=ring_fort
archaeological_site=ringfort
castle_type=fortification
castle_type=fortress
earthworks=rath
earthworks=ringfort
earthworks=ringfort (rath)
fortification=ring_ditch
fortification_type=hill_fort
fortification_type=hillfort
fortification_type=ringfort
historic=fort
historic=fortification
historic=hillfort
historic=ring fort
historic=ring_fort
inscription=Ring fort
military=fort
note=Ancient fort
note=Ancient ring fort
note=Fawney (fainne) means ring, maybe the site of a ringfort? Was also slang 
to kiss the King/Lords ring. Very interesting as the road is called the Royal 
Oak
note=Fort
note=Not sure if these are Barrows or rath, or what the difference is! Ring fort
note=Not sure if these are Barrows or raths, or what the difference is! Ring 
fort
note=Ring Fort?
note=Round Fort?
note=ring fort
note=ringfort
ruins=fort
ruins=ringfort
site_type=earthwork
site_type=earthworks
site_type=enclosure
site_type=fortification
site_type=ring fort
site_type=ringfort
site_type=ringfort;megalith
type=ringfort
wikipedia=en:Ringfort
wikipedia_1=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringfort

How should I proceed?

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Ireland's border

I would certainly be interested in that, for the Fermanagh area at least.  I 
know while mapping townlands, I noticed make-shift bridges local farmers used 
to access farmland on either side of the border, also what looked to be ford 
crossings.

Is there a tag/tags we could give to all the border crossings so that they 
could be displayed on a umap for example?

[OSM-talk-ie] Ireland's border

[Ciarán Staunton]

I don't recall seeing a mention of this here before, apologies if it was
and I missed it.

I have found a book titled "The Rule of the Land" authored by Garret Carr.
He basically thought it would be a good idea to walk (and canoe) all 299km
of the Irish border. Along the way he found the 208 "official" crossings
acknowledged with the bias towards roads. He also documented 77 other
crossings, even though some are accessed on private land.

Should we ask him for ODBL and see if his features can be added? Some are
stiles, gang planks and stepping stones.
