What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrick (athlone South By.) (detached Portion) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrick (athlone South By.) (detached Portion), County Roscommon, Ireland. The subcircular grass-covered area sits towards the bottom of a north-facing slope and measures 50 metres north-northwest to south-southeast. A wide earthen bank forms the south-southwest and northwest edges, while a lower scarp defines the remaining perimeter. A field bank at the south slightly truncates the ring, and no visible ditch or original entrance remains.
