What is recorded here

Not inidicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Leggatinty, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1914 OS 6-inch map marked it as a subcircular feature about 30m across on a level landscape. Gannon observed slight bank remains at the north in 1972, but quarrying removed those traces. It is now an overgrown oval quarry 31m north-south and 25m east-west, 1 to 1.2m deep, with no bank or fosse visible among the conifers.

Marked as a subcircular hachured feature (diam. c. 30m) only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a level landscape. Although quarried, the slight remains of a bank was visible at N (Gannon 1972). It is now an oval overgrown quarry (dims 31m N-S; 25m E-W; D 1-1.2m) with no evidence of a bank or fosse and it remains unplanted in a coniferous forest.
