What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Alternan Park is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Alternan Park, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight east-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A low earthen bank encloses a raised roughly circular area, while an external fosse appears only as a very shallow depression at the north-northwest to north-northeast edge. A break in the bank at the south-west to north-west meets a north-northwest to south-southeast field wall that overlies the fosse line.

At SW-NW there is a break in the bank and immediately outside this a NNW-SSE field wall overlies the line of the fosse. There is gentle slope down from W to E in the E half of the interior.
