What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Brickeen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Brickeen, County Sligo, Ireland. The roughly circular earthwork measures 19 metres north-south and 20 metres east-west on a slight north-facing rise. A 1.3-metre scarp defines its western edge, while a field boundary and farm building now truncate the southeast and west sections. The interior remains raised to compensate for the underlying slope.

In low-lying undulating pasture, on a slight rise on a N-facing slope. A roughly circular raised area (19m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) W-WSW. The scarp SE-SSW is incorporated into a field boundary and is truncated WSW-W by a farm building. The interior is raised to compensate for the slope.
