What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bellacagher is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bellacagher, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area measures 22.5m east-west and contains a 3m entrance at the northeast. An earthen bank and scarp define parts of the perimeter, though quarrying at the west edge prevents tracing the full boundary. A field bank overlies the interior, while other earthworks stand 100m to the northwest and 130m to the east-southeast.

The perimeter is quarried at the W edge and cannot be traced SE-SW. There is no visible fosse but the entrance (Wth 3m) is at NE, and a NW-SE field bank of field system (RO034-099----) overlies the interior.
