What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinlig (tireragh By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballinlig (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies the southeast side of a low rise in undulating pasture, where a raised circular area measuring nineteen metres across is defined by a scarp between half and one and a half metres high. Field boundaries once modified the northeast to east-southeast perimeter but have since been removed, leaving no visible fosse or recognisable original entrance.
