What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Foghanagh More, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area on a gentle west-facing slope at the west end of a ridge. An overgrown scarp defines the boundary, with traces of a fosse visible along the north, west, east and south sections before fading or becoming obscured by farm waste to the northeast and southeast. A modern entrance causeway cuts through the south side.
