What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bullaun is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bullaun, County Sligo, Ireland. The circular area measures twenty-six metres across and sits on the northeast-facing slope of a ridge in undulating rough pasture. An earthen bank with stone revetment defines the east to northwest perimeter, while a scarp marks the northwest to east edge. The northern interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope, and a field boundary runs immediately to the east southeast.
