What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moyglass (ballintober North By., Cloonteem Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the east end of a low drumlin ridge and presents a subcircular scrub-covered area measuring 45 metres east-west and 40 metres north-south. An overgrown scarp and partly wet fosse define its boundary, while a northern causeway may be later rather than original.
