What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corgarve (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular feature roughly forty metres across on the 1837 Ordnance Survey six-inch map and occupies a gentle southeast-facing slope. A grass-covered area thirty metres wide sits within an earthen bank that forms a scarp on the southeast and merges into the surrounding land elsewhere, with no visible entrance or ditch.
