In archaeology, the term ring ditch refers to any regularly-shaped circular or pennanular ditch cut.

They are often identified as cropmarks during aerial photography surveys and usually represent the ditch that surrounded a round barrow. Often the barrow itself has been ploughed or eroded away and the quarry ditch and its fill are all that survive.
