What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Aughris (tireragh By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Aughris (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area measures about 22m across and retains an earthen bank along its western edge, though the eastern two-thirds have been levelled until the outline barely shows. A short fosse cuts the outer foot at north-west, where an opening leads into a man-made underground passage. Local information claims a stone sculpture was found inside that passage, and another rath stands about 100m to the south-west.

Adjacent to the inner face of the bank at NW is an opening to a Man-made underground passage (SL012-122002-). There is another rath (SL012-019----) c. 100m to SW.
