What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockarush is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockarush, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low rise on a west-facing slope and contains a circular grass-covered area forty-seven metres across. An earthen bank surrounds the space, shows facing stones on part of its circuit, and reduces to a scarp elsewhere. A small grass-covered cairn sits at the centre, probably marking removed stones rather than a built feature.
