What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Barroe South is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barroe South, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a west-facing slope near the east shore of Lough Arrow, enclosing a circular area twenty-two metres across with an earth and stone bank. The bank stands two metres wide and reaches two point one metres externally, though the north arc has been levelled. The west interior rises slightly to compensate for the hillslope, preserving the circular shape within the pasture.
