What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Killerr, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle southwest-facing slope as a circular grass-covered area roughly fifty-four metres across. A slight earthen bank and hedge define the perimeter, while gaps appear at the north-northwest and south-southwest. Archaeological testing nearby failed to produce related material, and landscaping eroded part of the north-northwest perimeter.

On a gentle SW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 54.1m NW-SE; 52m NW-SE) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 1.4-2.4m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 0.6-1.1m) and hedge. There is no visible fosse, but there is a shallow ditch inside the bank (Wth of top 3.3m; Wth of base 1.4m; D 0.15m) W-NNW which is probably modern. There are gaps in the perimeter at NNW (Wth 1m) and SSW (Wth 3.1m). Archaeological testing (02E1824) immediately to the N failed to produce any related material (Read 2004d), and the perimeter NW-NW was eroded in landscaping. Further testing (04E1548) c. 30m to NE failed to produce archaeological material (Read 2007g). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
