What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Killinaddan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low-lying, level landscape as a D-shaped grass-covered area measuring 31m east-west and 27m north-south. A grass-covered stone spread defines the perimeter from southwest through north to southeast, while a field wall truncates the southern edge. The 1837 and 1914 Ordnance Survey maps describe it as an old graveyard, though no visible entrance or burial evidence remains.
