What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Gorteenacammadil, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears only on the 1928 Ordnance Survey six-inch map as a circular feature on a gentle south-facing slope. A subcircular grass-covered area measures sixty metres north-south and fifty-two metres east-west, bounded partly by an earthen bank and partly by a scarp above a road and lower ground. A field bank cuts across the interior, while a modern entrance opens at the southeast.

Marked only on the 1928 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular feature, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 60m N-S; 52m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-ESE and by a scarp (H 0.6m at W to 2.1m at S) over a road ESE-S and lower ground S-W. A NNW-SSE field bank bisects the interior and there is a modern entrance at SE.
