What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonavery, County Roscommon, Ireland. A broken earthen bank survives inside a coniferous forest on a gentle slope above the River Shannon. The 1914 Ordnance Survey map drew the whole circle, but the ground no longer shows the missing parts.
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures (C c. 50m) N-E-S. On a gentle SW-facing slope with a SE-NW section of the River Shannon, c. 150m to the SW. An earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 1.2m) survives NE-SE in a coniferous forest (C c. 30m). There is no visible evidence of a fosse or of the continuation of the perimeter.
