What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Moheedian is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Moheedian, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area nearly 58m across, bounded partly by a stone spread and partly by a natural scarp. A later subrectangular field overlaps its southeast quadrant, pushing out the original perimeter. Local tradition holds that human bones were found inside around 1900.

Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as conjoined enclosures (diam. c. 25m), and situated on a terrace overlooking lower ground to the S and SE. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 58m) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3-5m; H 0.3-1m) WSW-N-E, and elsewhere by a partly natural scarp. There is no visible entrance, but its SE quadrant is overlain by walls of a subrectangular field (RO016-030002-) (int. dims 25.4m N-S; 21.2m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1-1.4m; H 0.2m) which has pushed out the perimeter of the cashel E-S, with traces of a second field attached to the S. There is a local tradition of human bones being found in the interior c. 1900. Rath (RO016-029----) is c. 100m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
