What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rusheen (boyle By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. Marked as a circular enclosure on the 1837 and 1914 Ordnance Survey maps, it sits towards the top of the east-facing slope of an east-west ridge. The grass and stone-covered area measures about forty metres across and is defined by a low scarp that quarrying has modified. A drystone wall may have surrounded the site.
