What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardcarn (boyle By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ardcarn (boyle By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise on a gentle north-facing slope within fields of a deserted settlement. A 1968 description recorded a circular area about 25 metres across, bounded by an earthen bank and separated from an outer bank by a fosse. The outer bank was removed in 1968, and the N4 roadway now crosses much of the site.
