What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinvoher (corran By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballinvoher (corran By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on a drumlin and preserves a raised oval area twenty-eight metres east-west and twenty metres north-south. A one-point-eight-metre scarp defines part of the edge, while quarrying removed the southern arc and a field boundary replaced the eastern arc. A possible underground passage appears near the north-west scarp, and another rath lies thirty metres to the north-west.

The remains of a raised oval area (int. diam. 28m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1.8m), the S arc is quarried away and a NNE-SSW field boundary replaces the E arc. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL033-158002-) near the scarp in the NW quadrant. Another rath (SL033-157----) is c. 30m to NW.
