Hi all, I mapped a lot with historical=earthworks earthworks=rath. A few years brianh came up with a tagging scheme for historic objects like that in Ireland, and that was the tagging for ringforts, so I used that. I have no strong attachment to it, and would be willing to change to something else.
I've mapped them from the GSGS map combined with current aerial, and as a closed way. We can do more accurate than a node! 🙂 The Archeological Survey of Ireland has all these (and more!) mapped, and I believe there's some attempt to ask the Dept Culture, Heritage & Gaeltacht to open that out, but nothing yet. That would certainly aid mapping. https://www.archaeology.ie/archaeological-survey-ireland rory On 05/09/18 07:05, Colm Moore wrote:
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?
