What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathlena,spring Gardens, County Roscommon, Ireland. Gannon described it in 1972 as a circular area thirty metres across with three openings, the north-west gap probably marking the original entrance. The earthen bank has largely vanished except along the northeast to southwest edge, where it may still form part of a curving field bank and the boundary with Rathlena.

On a slight S-facing slope. Described (Gannon 1972) as a circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by the remains of an earthen bank which had three openings, that at NW (Wth 3m) probably being the original. It is not visible at ground level apart from the perimeter NE-E-SW which may be incorporated into a curving field bank and the townland boundary with Rathlena. Rath (RO032-042----) is c. 160m to the ESE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
