What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bohagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bohagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area on the crest of a north-west-south-east ridge at the south foot of Mewlaghadooey Hill. The site measures 56 metres north-west-south-east and 49 metres north-east-south-west, bounded by an earthen bank reaching 14.5 metres wide and 1.1 metres high externally at the north-west edge. No visible fosse or original entrance remains, though the location may correspond to a possible rath recorded 100 metres to the south-east.
