What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Cloonacaltry,feacle, County Roscommon, Ireland. The site is a D-shaped enclosure roughly 45 metres north-south and 30 metres east-west, marked on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map and redrawn as a subrectangular field about 25 metres across on the 1915 edition. It sits on a knoll towards the top of a southwest-facing slope, but it is no longer visible at ground level because the land is reclaimed pasture. A field wall and the townland boundary with Feacle cut through its eastern edge, and Rath RO048-124---- lies about 180 metres to the south.
