Fairy fort / stone ringfort

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.
