What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballydooley, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass and scrub-covered area on a southeast-facing slope. An overgrown rounded fosse defines the perimeter, though a field bank and hedge now incorporate part of its inner edge. No original entrance remains identifiable.

On a SE-facing slope. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 31m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by an overgrown rounded fosse which is best preserved SW-NNE (Wth of base 2.8m; D 0.4m), but is hardly traceable at SE-SW (Wth of base 2.3m; D 0.2m). A N-S field bank overlies the E part of the interior, and the perimeter is visible as a slight scarp (H 0.2m) E of this feature. A field bank and hedge is incorporated into the inner edge of the fosse SE-N-SW, but there is no identifiable original entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
