What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Araghty, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass and scrub-covered platform sits towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope. An overgrown scarp defines the SW-W-NE perimeter, while an earthen bank and outer bank occupy the NE-E section. A stone wall marks the E-SW edge, though a quarry now exists inside it.

Towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope. Circular grass and scrub-covered platform (diam. 35.6m N-S; 33.1m E-W) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.5-0.8m) SW-W-NE, with an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.75m) on the perimeter separated by a berm (Wth 3m) from an outer bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.2m) NE-E.
