What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonillan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonillan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a gentle NE-facing slope as a D-shaped grass-covered area roughly 42m east-west and 24m north-south. An overgrown scarp rises 0.2m at the northwest to 0.9m at the east, while an east-west field wall truncates the southern perimeter. Local tradition describes it as a children's burial ground despite the absence of a visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
