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. The circular earthwork sits on a steep south-facing drumlin slope within coppiced woodland. Its earthen bank encloses a twenty-eight metre interior, while an external fosse follows the northern arc. Trees now densely overgrow the site, partially hiding the possible northern entrance and raised southern ground.

In coppiced woodland, on the steep S-facing slope of a drumlin. A circular area (int. diam. c. 28m), enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1.2m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.86m) along the N arc. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope, however, the interior retains a slope down to the S. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1m) at N. The rath is densely overgrown with trees. 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).
