What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Newtown (athlone South By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a knoll in an undulating landscape as a circular overgrown area twenty-six metres across from northwest to southeast. A wide stone spread five metres wide and one metre high defines the boundary, though a later field wall now covers its southwest section. The original entrance remains unidentifiable beneath the overgrowth and later construction.
