What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilcash is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilcash, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area measures about thirty-one metres across and sits towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope of Moydow Hill. An earth and stone bank defines the east, south and north edges, while a one-metre scarp marks the remainder. A grass-covered trench crosses the interior from east to west, and Cashel lies about one hundred and twenty metres to the southwest.
