What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Barnacawley is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barnacawley, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a steep south-facing slope on a northwest-southeast ridge. A nineteen-hundred-and-ninety-five description recorded an oval grass-covered area measuring thirty-six metres east-west and twenty-seven point five metres north-south. An earthen bank ran northwest to southeast while a scarp stood along the southeast and southwest edges.

On the steep S-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. Described in 1995 as an oval grass-covered area (dims 36m E-W; 27.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) NNW-SE and a scarp (H 1.3m at S) SE-SW. The site was truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank and drain at W, and the perimeter was incorporated into a field bank at E. There was no visible fosse or entrance. Part of the bank at N (L c. 10m), and portions of the field banks at W and E were later removed. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
