What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Eden is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Eden, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies an oval grass-covered area towards the bottom of a gentle south-facing slope. An overgrown earthen bank and complete outer fosse define the perimeter, while a field wall and farm track have created entrance gaps at the north and south. A man-made underground passage remains inside the southern perimeter, and the western part is preserved unplanted within a coniferous forest.
