What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilnamryall is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilnamryall, County Roscommon, Ireland. The subcircular grass-covered area measures 56 metres northeast-southwest and 48.8 metres northwest-southeast on a level, low-lying landscape. A flat-bottomed fosse runs south-southwest to north, while a scarp rises elsewhere, creating a boundary with no recognisable entrance. Local tradition claims burial use, though no evidence of burials or internal structure exists.
