Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Cleen, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area measures about 27m across and sits towards the bottom of a south-facing drumlin slope. A scrub and tree-covered stone spread defines the perimeter, though much of the north-east section is robbed and a north-south road truncates the east edge. The entrance faces south-east.
