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?
