What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowstellan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowstellan, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular enclosure measures about sixty metres across on aerial photographs and sits on a gentle west-facing slope, though it disappears at ground level inside pasture. Satellite imagery from around 2013 shows a D-shaped grass-covered feature roughly seventy metres east-west and fifty metres north-south with a straight northern edge, suggesting the site may be a rath.
