What is recorded here

Doonanall Forts is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Emlagh (tirerrill By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The circular area measures 24m in diameter and uses a natural hillock to create a raised interior. An earthen bank defines the space, survives best along the eastern and southeastern arcs, and connects to a southern field boundary. Another rath lies 5m to the west.

On top of a knoll, on a low ridge c. 20m N of a stream. A circular area (diam. 24m) using the natural hillock which gives the impression of a raised interior. The interior is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2m) which survives best along the E and SE arcs and by a low internal lip elsewhere. A gap occurs in the bank at N. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary system to S. A lane skirts the rath to S. Another rath (SL027-130001-) lies c. 5m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
