I corrected my post above. The standard banjo tone ring is 11 inches, that's the size of the small deep very heavy high-tension "neo-bodhrans" I've seen.
Here's some very talented kids. Wow.

His drum is the more modern style, with the deeper narrower shell, probably 14", but a far cry from the 11" ones with the banjo tone ring.
