What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ardnanure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Ardnanure, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in a low-lying landscape and contains a circular grass and scrub-covered area. Intermittently visible stone wall foundations define the perimeter, survive best along the south-southwest and southwest, and show no identifiable original entrance. A modern stone wall now overlies part of the southeast and south-southwest boundary.
