What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tobermacloughlin is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tobermacloughlin, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise on a north-south ridge and measures twenty-nine metres across. A circular, slightly domed earth and stone bank defines the site, though a field wall now bisects the interior and another surrounds part of the perimeter. The eastern section has been removed since 1995, leaving the western grass-covered part behind.

It was bisected by a N-S field wall with a further field wall surrounding and partly overlying the perimeter S-W-N (SRM file).
