What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Johnstown Demesne is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Johnstown Demesne, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears only on the 1915 Ordnance Survey map as a fifty-metre enclosure on level ground. Gannon measured a subcircular area fifty-two metres east-west and forty-seven metres north-south, bounded by a defaced earth and stone bank. The site has vanished from ground level inside reclaimed pasture.
