What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lisnamucklagh (athlone South By.) is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Lisnamucklagh (athlone South By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape and presents a circular grass-covered area thirty-six point six metres across. A two-metre-wide stone wall footing with facing-stones survives beneath a drystone-built wall on the north-northwest to south-southeast side, while a slight scarp marks the south to north-northwest perimeter. A north-east to south-west field wall truncates the southeast edge, and a north-west to south-east wall now crosses the interior where a previous north-east perimeter wall stood before two thousand.
