What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Portobello is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Portobello, County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped grass-covered area sits on a low rise and measures 22.5 metres east-west by 21.5 metres north-south. An earthen bank, two to 3.3 metres wide and standing 0.6 to 1.1 metres high externally, defines the perimeter before reducing to a straight scarp toward the southeast. Mature deciduous trees now plant the boundary, while no visible fosse or entrance remains.
