What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullaghmore is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullaghmore, County Roscommon, Ireland. Susan Curran first identified the circular site during an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. The low scarp defines a twenty-by-twenty-two metre area on a slight slope, while a field bank and hedge curve around its perimeter without a visible entrance.
