What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lodge is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lodge, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a D-shaped grass-covered area on a south-facing slope at the southwest end of a low drumlin ridge. A scarp and earthen bank define the remaining structure, while a field bank truncates the northeast section. Archaeological testing nearby failed to produce related material.

On a S-facing slope towards the SW end of a low NE-SW drumlin ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims. 19.5m NW-SE; 7m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1.05m) S-WSW and an earthen bank (Wth 5m; int.
