What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rover Upper, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area 28m across on a terrace towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of Kilronan Mountain. The perimeter forms a slight bank at S and a scarp elsewhere, while a shallow fosse runs NW-NE and appears as a band of rushes S-W. A NNE-SSW field bank truncates the fosse W-NW, and no entrance is visible.
