What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ashpark, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area is about 30.4m wide, defined by a slight earthen bank up to 2.3m wide and 1.3m high on the south to north-west side, reduced to a 0.4m scarp elsewhere. The north-east perimeter has been quarried, and a grass-covered trench 10m long, 3.5m wide and 0.5m deep breaches the perimeter at the south. The two openings at the south-west are unlikely to be original.

On a gentle NE-facing slope of a slight NW-SE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 30.4 E-W; c. 30m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 1.9-2.3m; int. H 0.35-0.4m; ext. H 0.45-1.3m) S-NNW, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and the two entrances at SW (Wth 1.8m; 2m) are unlikely to be original. The perimeter has been quarried N-NE and there is a grass-covered quarry trench (dims 10m E-W; 3.5m N-S; D 0.5m) breaching the perimeter at S.
