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 above a northeast-southwest valley and contains a grass-covered area roughly twenty-six metres across. Earthen banks form arcs on the northwest, northeast and southwest sides, while a field wall cuts the western edge and blocks continuation elsewhere. Two other raths stand within one hundred metres to the north and east-northeast.
On a N-facing slope overlooking a NE-SW valley. Subrectangular or subcircular grass-covered area (diam. c. 26m N-S) defined by arcs of an earthen bank (Wth 2.4-2.6m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-NE and S-SW. The perimeter is truncated by a N-S field wall at W and cannot be traced NE-S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Rath (RO028-130002-) is c. 90m to the N and rath (RO028-131----) is c. 70m to the ENE.
