What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowgarve (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. A circular grass-covered area measures 36.3 metres east-west and 34.7 metres north-south, defined by an earthen bank that reaches 0.9 metres externally on the south and west sides. A five-metre berm separates this main bank from a relict field bank on the north-east, while a shallow depression extends eastward through the interior from the north-west perimeter.

On a slight S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 36.3m E-W; 34.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-2.5m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.7-0.9m) NE-S-SW which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.7m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse, but a berm (Wth 5m) separates the bank from a relict field bank (Wth 2m; H 0.5-0.7m) WNW-NNE. There is no identifiable original entrance, but there is a grass-covered depression (dims 9m E-W; 2.5m N-S; D 0.5m), perhaps a Man-made underground passage (RO028-054002-), extending E through the interior from the perimeter at NW.
