What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Raheen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Raheen, County Roscommon, Ireland. A sixteen-metre arc of its seven-and-a-half-metre-wide earthen bank survives towards the east end of an east-west ridge, standing one-point-seven metres high inside and two-point-three metres high outside. The bank remained unplanted in a coniferous forest during the 1990s but now borders pasture, while no digging trench remains visible beside it.

Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a chord of an earthen bank situated towards the E end of an E-W ridge and just SW of rath (RO022-018001-). An arc (C 16m) of an earthen bank (Wth 7.5m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 2.3m) survives E-S and remained unplanted in a coniferous forest in the 1990s but is now in pasture. There is no visible fosse.
