What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloontrask is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloontrask, County Roscommon, Ireland. The site sits on the crest of the east end of a low ridge, where a thirty-metre arc of a fosse still survives along the southeast and southwest. A field bank once cut through the remaining section but has since been removed, leaving the earthwork visible only in that partial curve.

Marked as an arc of an enclosure (C c. 40m SE-NW) only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the crest of the E end of a low ridge. An arc (C 30m) of a fosse (Wth of top 5.3m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.3m) survives SE-SW, but a NW-SE field bank which truncated the rest of the monument has been removed. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
