An amusing ditch feature: recording of a ha-ha on the N25 Dunkettle Interchange Project

27/7/2020

​By John O’Connor
​

‘Navigate their way around the ha-ha, keep their distance from the ho-ho and completely ignore the he-he’ (Terry Pratchett – Snuff)
It’s not often that a quote from the works of Terry Pratchett comes to mind while recording a ditch, but this was the case as I looked at one of the more unusual features uncovered on the N25 Dunkettle Interchange Motorway Improvement Scheme, Co. Cork. These works, conducted by Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd. on behalf of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, included the recording of a suspected ha-ha ditch at Dunkettle House.
