What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballydooley, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marked the site as an oval enclosure on a gentle northwest-facing slope beside an extensive southern quarry. The grass-covered area now measures twenty-eight metres across and contains a low scarp rather than a visible entrance or surrounding ditch.
