What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Mullaghnashee is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Mullaghnashee, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular area reaches fifty-two metres across and contains a southeast gap that may mark an original entrance. A long depression runs west-northwest from the enclosure, possibly resulting from quarrying, while a holy well and penitential station lie three hundred metres to the east-southeast.

Visible on Digital Globe aerial imagery as a circular area (max. diam. c. 52m) defined by the cropmark of a fosse (Wth c. 2-4m). A gap at SE (Wth c. 6m) may be the location of an original entrance. A subrectangular linear depression (L c. 40m WNW-ESE; max. Wth c. 12m) running WNW from the W sector of the enclosure may be the result of quarrying.
