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.
Situated on broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 18m) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.35m; int. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 6.8m; D 0.3m). From SW-E the bank is absent and the defining element is a scarp (ext. H 0.7m) and the bank is incorporated into a field boundary from SE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
