What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Toomona is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Toomona, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular earthwork sits on a north-facing slope where a relict field system once crossed its eastern edge. Reclaimed pasture now hides the bank and scarp from ground-level view.

The perimeter at E was overlain by a NE-SW field bank of a relict field system (RO022-104002-) of small rectangular fields covering c. 10 ha (c. 25 acres) (SMR file). It is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
