What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilmacananneny is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilmacananneny, County Roscommon, Ireland. The earthen bank circles a forty-metre area at the bottom of the E-facing slope of Slieve Bawn, beside a small W-E stream. A low, round-topped bank two to three metres wide defines the unplanted space inside the coniferous forest. No ditch or entrance is visible, and the circular feature appears only on the 1915 OS 6-inch map.

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular feature (diam. c. 35m), and situated towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of Slieve Bawn, on the N bank of a small W-E stream.
