What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardneeskan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ardneeskan, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing ridge slope where a thirty-metre circular area remains enclosed by an earthen bank and scarp. The bank now joins a field boundary system, while the southern interior rises to balance the hillslope.

On the S-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.8m) along the NW and NE arcs and by a scarp (H 1.5m) elsewhere. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary system. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. 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).
