What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagard is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnagard, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the floor of an east-west valley as a circular grass-covered area nearly thirty-nine metres across. An earthen bank with bushes surrounds the centre, while traces of a fosse appear as a band of rushes at the north and southeast. Entrances at the southeast and northeast provide access, with the northeast opening probably original although widened and fitted with a causeway.

H 1.5-1.8m), and traces of a fosse visible as a band of rushes (Wth 2m) at N and SE-S. There are entrances at SSE (Wth 3.6m) and NE (Wth 1.8m), the latter probably being original although widened (Wth 5.8m) and with a causeway (Wth 4.5m).
