What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rockingham Demesne (boyle By., Rockingham.ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rockingham Demesne (boyle By., Rockingham.ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area forty-one to forty-two metres across on a hilltop, bounded by a shallow scarp rather than a visible bank, fosse or entrance. A gazebo and tree-ring stand just to the northwest, and the site appears only on the 1914 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map.
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on top of a hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 41-42m) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.8m). There is no visible bank, fosse or entrance. A gazebo and tree-ring, both marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, are just to the NW.
