What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corraslira, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope at the west end of a low east-west drumlin ridge, with the Scrammoge River flowing approximately 200 meters to the south. A circular grass-covered area measures roughly 34.7 meters north-south and 34.4 meters east-west, bounded by an earthen bank that ranges from 3.4 to 4.4 meters wide. The bank reduces to a 1.5-meter scarp on the southeast and merges into an overgrown field bank on the southwest, while a slight fosse remains visible from southwest through north to southeast.
