What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Culleenatreen OR Flagford, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of an east-facing slope as a circular grass-covered area thirty-two metres across. An earthen bank and scarp define the west and north-east perimeter, while an outer fosse marks the south, west and north-east edges. A north-east to south-west road bank slightly truncates the south-east perimeter, and no visible entrance remains.
