What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cornasleehan, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marked a circular feature about thirty-five metres across, while the 1914 edition showed a rectangular area probably representing the south-east quadrant of a rath. Gannon described the surviving fragment as an earthen bank and outer fosse, but the feature is no longer visible at ground level in the low-lying pasture.

Marked as a circular feature (diam. c. 35m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a rectangular area (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE), probably the SE quadrant of a rath, on the 1914 ed. Situated on a low-lying, level landscape. Described as the SE fragment of an earthen bank and outer fosse (Gannon 1972), it is no longer visible at ground level in pasture.
