What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Grange (athlone South By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped grass-covered area sits at the crest of a slight east-facing slope, bounded by an earth and stone bank, a hedge, and a scarp. A two-metre entrance opens at the southwest, while the straight eastern edge may reflect external quarrying and the interior shows poaching. Rath lies roughly two hundred metres to the north-northeast.
At the crest of a slight E-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 23.6m N-S; 23.2m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5-4.2m; int. H 0.1-0.5m; ext. H 0.3-1m) and hedge SW-NNE and by a scarp (H 0.3-0.6m) elsewhere. The straight edge at E may be due to quarrying externally here and the interior is poached. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth 2m) is at SW. Rath (RO045-122----) is c. 200m to the NNE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
