Thanks. I've gone ahead with some earthworks->fortification retaging in Kilkenny : https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/62348383 * I've removed the " (rath)" that was sometimes appended to the name. It should probably go in name:ga but I haven't the skill. * Some notes refer to the ringfort as "plough-leveled", maybe that's a better wording than "razed" for the ringfort_type key ? * It would be nice to tag forts that consist of multiple rings, like https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/538754476, but I'm not sure that ringfort_type=dun is the right choice. * Not all earthwork is a ringfort, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/536904479 - I guess this should also change from earthworks=motte to fortification_type=hill_fort, like https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/357271010 ? > 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.
