What is recorded here

Indicated is an enclosure in Ballytoohey, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map marked it as a rectangular feature, though local tradition identifies it as a fort. It sits on a gentle SE-facing slope about 300m north of the River Shannon, where an overgrown earthen bank forms an arc that disappears beneath pasture at ground level.
