What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doon (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope where an overgrown earthen bank and outer fosse define a subcircular grass-covered area. The perimeter remains visible from north-northeast through east to south-southeast, but reduces to a low scarp on the south-southwest and cannot be traced elsewhere. No original entrance is identifiable.
