What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilcash, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle NE-facing slope where a circular earthen bank, roughly thirty metres across, joins a field bank without a visible entrance or fosse. The site has vanished from ground level in reclaimed pasture, leaving Rath as the only remaining marker two hundred metres to the southeast.

It is not visible now at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Rath (RO042-052----) is c. 200m to the SE.
