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 circular enclosure measured about thirty metres across and occupied a low rise on a peninsula jutting into the western side of Ballisodare Bay. Surveyors marked the site on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map, but leveling removed the western half and buried the eastern scarp under field clearance debris.
