What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Hawksford is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Hawksford, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a northwest-southeast ridge and presents a rectangular grass-covered platform measuring sixteen metres east-west and fourteen point four metres north-south. Steep scarps rise from zero point three metres at the east to one metre at the west, marking edges that probably suffered cutting back. A man-made underground passage remains preserved near the southwest edge, while another earthwork stands seventy metres to the northwest.
