What is recorded here

Enclosure in Gortnacrannagh is an enclosure in Gortnacrannagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a small arc of hachures on the 1927 OS 6-inch map at the west edge of a narrow ravine. A subrectangular area of grass and thistles, about 17 metres long and 9 metres wide, backs onto the ravine and probably represents modern disturbance rather than an ancient boundary. A standing stone lies 15 metres to the southeast in the ravine floor, while a rath stands 190 metres to the west.
