What is recorded here
Farn Green is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Demesne, County Roscommon, Ireland. An 18th-century map depicts it as a thirty-metre embanked enclosure on level ground in Castlerea town, situated on the north bank of the Francis River just after it turns southwest before joining the River Suck. The location is now occupied by the cattle mart or lies beneath the present line of the river.
