What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Barnarobin is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barnarobin, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies level ground in gently undulating pasture and contains a slightly raised circular area measuring 49 metres north-south and 48 metres east-west. A low broad earth bank, eight metres wide and 0.15 metres high internally, encloses the space, though the bank is absent from the west-northwest and north-east-east sections. A farm track runs along the western edge, a low board scarp defines the eastern circuit, and a drystone field wall follows the line of the removed eastern bank.
