What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rackans is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rackans, County Roscommon, Ireland. A D-shaped enclosure measured about 35 metres east-west and 20 metres north-south on the 1915 Ordnance Survey map. A bank arc 5 metres wide and 0.9 metres high survives from the northwest to the east, while a road has cut through the southern interior.

Marked as a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 20m N-S) only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle NE-facing slope. The arc of a bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.9m) survives NW-E (C 46m), but the grass-covered interior has been truncated by a WNW-ESE road at S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
