What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ashbrook OR Knocknabarnaboy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ashbrook OR Knocknabarnaboy, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the bottom of a west-facing slope on Slieve Bawn and measures nearly fifty metres across. An earthen bank, outer ditch and partial inner ditch once defined the circle, while a three-metre entrance and causeway appeared at the southeast. Farm buildings now cover part of the site, hiding the remains from ground-level view.
