What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybrogan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballybrogan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape as a circular grass and scrub-covered area measuring 49m east-west and 46.5m north-south. An earthen bank 3.3m wide defines the east side, while a 1.1m scarp marks the west, with no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. A field wall revets the scarp from southwest to north-northwest, and archaeological testing 40m to the east recovered no related material.
