What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Fearagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Fearagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1915 Ordnance Survey map marked a forty-to-forty-five-metre enclosure in slightly undulating pasture, although ground-level features disappeared. Archaeological testing west of the nearby road found no related material, leading O'Hara to conclude the site holds no archaeological significance.

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an enclosure (diam. c. 40-45m), and situated in a slightly undulating landscape. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Archaeological testing (03E1512) immediately to the W on the other side of a NNE-SSW road failed to produce any related archaeological material (O'Hara 2006).
