Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ross Beg, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a shelf at the west end of an east-west valley and presents a circular grass-covered platform measuring thirty-three point six metres east-west and thirty-two metres north-south. An earthen bank defines the southwest and northwest edges while a scarp marks the remaining perimeter, with a three-metre-wide entrance opening toward the south-southeast. No visible fosse breaks the structure, which retains its distinct shape on the valley shelf.
