What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Manor is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Manor, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a north-facing slope as a grass-covered, D-shaped area measuring thirty-three metres east-west and twenty-two and a half metres north-south. An overgrown earthen bank defines the northeast and south edges, while field walls truncate the west and north sides. Two other rath sites appear within one hundred and twenty metres to the southwest and southeast.
On a N-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 33m E-W; 22.5m N-S) defned by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.4-3.3m; int. H 0.25-0.65m; ext. H 0.4-0.7m) NE-S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable entrance, and it is truncated by a N-S field wall at W and an E-W field wall at N. Archaeological testing (02E0282) immediately to the E failed to produce any related material (Read 2004f; 2006d). Rath (RO028-146----) is c. 60m to the SW and rath (RO028-147----) is c. 120m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
