What is recorded here
indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rocky terrace on an east-facing slope about twenty metres west of a north-south stream. A grass-covered circular area measures roughly nineteen to twenty metres across, bounded partly by a shallow fosse and partly by a two-and-a-half-metre berm.
