What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Boleyduff is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Boleyduff, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular scrub-covered rise thirty to thirty-two metres across on a gentle southeast-facing slope. A grass-covered stone spread, partly marked by large facing stones, defines the boundary while drystone field walls overlay or truncate parts of the structure. No original entrance remains identifiable, though relict field walls still mark the interior.
On a rise on a gentle SE-facing slope. Circular scrub-covered area (diam. 32.5m WNW-ESE; 30m NNE-SSW) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (at WSW: Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.5m) with some facing-stones (original Wth 1.3-1.6m) SSE-W, overlain by a drystone field wall W-NE but truncated slightly by a NE-SW field wall E-SE. There is no identifiable original entrance, but the remnants of relict field walls survive in the interior.
