What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowntarriff, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears only on the 1915 Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a circular enclosure on a rise in gently undulating ground. The subcircular grass-covered platform measures thirty-four point four metres north-north-east to south-south-west and twenty-seven point seven metres west-north-west to east-south-east. An earth and stone scrub-covered bank two point four to three metres wide and zero point three to zero point six metres high defines the edge, remaining best preserved from south to north-west but reducing to a scarp elsewhere.

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, and situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 34.4m NNE-SSW; 27.7m WNW-ESE) defined by an earth and stone scrub-covered bank (Wth 2.4-3m; H 0.3-0.6m) which is best preserved S-NW but reduced to a scarp elsewhere. There is slight evidence of an ancient stone wall on top of this scarp, but a field wall obscures the perimeter NW-E-S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
