What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Eskerbaun is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Eskerbaun, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape and preserves a circular grass-covered area bounded by stone wall foundations. A stone-lined entrance marks the eastern edge, while a faint internal wall suggests a later field system crossed the site.
On a rise in an undulating landscape. Circular, slightly domed, grass-covered but poached area (int. diam. 37m NNE-SSW; 35.8m WNW-ESE) defined by the grass-covered foundations of a stone wall (Wth 1.75-1.85m; max. H 0.65m), best preserved NE-SE. There is a stone-lined entrance (Wth 2.2m) at ENE. A slight wall running from the centre towards the perimeter at NW may be a remnant of an overlying field system. The perimeter is overlain by an ENE-WSW field wall at N.
