What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Brockagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Brockagh, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a broad rise in gently undulating pasture, where an eighteen-metre circular area survives through an earth-and-stone bank and external fosse. From the southwest to east the bank disappears, leaving a scarp to mark the edge, while the southeast section has become a field boundary. The original entrance no longer remains visible.
