What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballylion, County Roscommon, Ireland. It stands on a gentle slope overlooking Lough Croan, a large turlough about 600m to the southwest. The D-shaped site measures 32m north-south and has a short northern fosse, though a field bank near the Lurag cut through its northwest edge. The earthen bank is now barely visible as a grass-covered rise.

Described as a D-shaped area (dim. 32m N-S) defined by an earthen bank, with a short section of fosse at N (Gannon 1972). The monument was truncated at NW by a field bank associated with the Lurag (RO045-162----). Now the bank is barely visible as a grass-covered rise.
