What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballinderry, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope as a grass-covered D-shaped area measuring 40.3 metres north-south and 40 metres east-west. A rounded overgrown fosse and scarp define the perimeter, while a field wall truncates the northeast edge and a field bank creates a passage to the south-southwest. An underground passage and small clearance cairn remain inside the boundary near the centre.

On a gentle E-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40.3m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a rounded but overgrown fosse (at W: Wth of top 8.3m; Wth of base 4.7m; int. D 1.4m; ext. D 1m) WSW-N, and by a scarp (H 0.85m at S to 1.65m) elsewhere. The perimeter of the platform has been truncated at NE by a NW-SE field wall, and the perimeter has been cut back SSE-SW to create a passage between it and a NW-SE field bank. Man-made underground passage (RO035-041002-) is inside the perimeter at N and there is a small clearance cairn (RO035-041003-) (dims 4.6m E-W; 3m N-S; H 0.4m) near the centre. Church (RO035-042001-) is c. 120m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
