What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonycarran More, County Roscommon, Ireland.

An overgrown flat-topped earthen bank defines the perimeter, although the structure is reduced to a scarp on the W-NW side. A pond has been dug outside the NW-NE boundary, and another earthwork lies approximately 130m to the SE.
