What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Meera, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies an oval grass-covered area on the NNE-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. An earthen bank defines the east and south edges, while a scarp marks the remaining boundary. A narrow outer fosse runs along the south-western side, and no visible entrance appears anywhere on the structure.
