Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowroger

In pasture on a gentle SE-facing slope. A large, poorly preserved circular area (int. diam. c. 50m) is bisected by a later field boundary running E-W across the interior and truncated by a farm track running N-S through the E sector. The enclosing bank is best preserved along the S (int. H 0.2m; Wth 6m; ext. H 0.9m) but has been reduced to a scarp (H 1m) from SW-W-N-NE. The original enclosing element has been levelled from NE-SE (to the E of the later N-S farm track) but a mature ash tree grows on its line at ESE. There is a wide modern gap (Wth 4m) into the interior at SSW. The perimeter is overgrown with bushes and the enclosing scarp and interior are heavily poached by livestock.
