What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (boyle By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (boyle By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. Susan Curran first identified the subcircular grass-covered area during an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. The monument sits on level pasture at the base of an east-facing low hillock, where a low scarp and outer fosse remain partly visible despite field drains and a central field bank.

Situated on level pasture at base of the E-facing slope of a low hillock. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 32m E-W; c. 28m N-S) defined by a low scarp (at SE: Wth 1.5m; H 0.15m) which is best preserved NE-S-NW but which has been straightened at N where it is slightly truncated by an E-W land drain. There is an outer fosse (at SE: Wth of top 4.2m; Wth of base 1.4m; D 0.15m) SE-SW, which is probably incorporated into a S-N and W-E field drain at W and N. There is no visible entrance but traces of a N-S field bank overlie the centre of the monument. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 May 2015
