Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kiltultoge is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltultoge, County Roscommon, Ireland. It is a subcircular grass-covered platform on a gentle south-facing slope, measured twenty-four point three metres east-west and twenty point three metres north-south. A broad shallow fosse defines the platform, while a road bank circumscribes the monument east-southwest and straight field banks surround it at north and west. The western field bank truncates the fosse, and no identifiable original entrance remains because the platform perimeter is cut back in several directions.

A road bank circumscribes the monument E-SW, and straight field banks surround it at N and W, that at W truncating the fosse.
