What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballybrogan is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Ballybrogan, County Roscommon, Ireland. The subcircular feature measures about thirty-five metres east-west and thirty metres north-south on a south-facing rise. Aerial photography shows a probable stone wall or spread, although reclaimed pasture hides the site at ground level. An enclosure stands one hundred metres south, while two cashels appear one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty metres east-northeast and east.
Visible as a subcircular feature (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S), probably defined by a stone wall or a stone spread, on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M 222-3), and situated on a rise on a S-facing slope. It is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Enclosure (RO045-064----) is c. 100m to the S, and cashels (RO045-065----; RO045-066----) are c. 120m to the ENE and 130m to the E respectively.
