What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Killeglan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular enclosure on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map and remains a D-shaped grass-covered area with visible facing stones. A field wall cuts through the site, hiding the western part, while archaeological testing nearby found no related material.

Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope.

It is bisected by a WNW-ESE field wall and does not survive visibly SW of this. There is no identifiable original entrance or internal features. The ringfort (RO051-004----) is c. 130m to the W.
