What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Killeglan, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area sits towards the bottom of a south-facing slope and measures roughly twenty-four metres across. A modern field wall overlays the original stone perimeter everywhere, while foundations of a rectangular house rest against the inner south-west edge where local tradition identifies a children's burial ground.

Towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 24.2m ENE-WSW; 22.4m NNW-SSE) defined by a stone spread with facing-stones (original Wth 1.1-1.3m), visible especially SSW-W. There is no identifiable original entrance, but the perimeter is overlain by a field wall everywhere and field stones have been added at NNW and NE, on either side of a modern entrance at N. The foundations of a rectangular house (RO050-006003-) (ext. dims at least 5.2m E-W; 4.6m N-S), locally regarded as a children's burial ground (RO050-006002-), are against the inner edge of the perimeter at SSW.
