What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clooncullaan (roscommon By., Cregga Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. The oval site with apple trees sits just off the crest of a drumlin on a gentle south-facing slope. An overgrown earthen bank surrounds the area, though farm sheds now occupy the eastern and southeastern perimeter. Archaeological testing immediately to the northeast failed to produce any related material.

Just off the crest of a drumlin on the gentle S-facing slope. Oval area (dims 34.5m N-S; 27m E-W) with apple trees defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.7-3.3m; int. H 0.2m at N to 0.7m at W; ext. H 0.4m at N to 1.4m at W) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.6m) planted with coniferous trees NE-SE. There is no visible fosse, but there is a modernised entrance (Wth 3m) at SE. Farm sheds are built on the perimeter at E and SE, and some spoil is added to the perimeter N-NE. Archaeological testing (07E0399) immediately to the NE failed to produce any related material (Carey 2010). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
