What is recorded here
Indicated is an enclosure in Toberrory, County Roscommon, Ireland. It stands on a knoll on the north-facing slope of Rathcroghan ridge and contains a barrow within an oval boundary measuring thirty-six metres north-south and twenty-three metres east-west. A removed stone wall still appears as a one-metre parch mark during very dry seasons, while the southern edge meets the road bank inside a larger outer enclosure at the knoll base. The site remains a National Monument in state ownership.
