What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bunnamuck is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bunnamuck, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the north-facing slope of a drumlin and contains a shallow external fosse around an oval earthen bank. The interior remains concave despite a raised northern section, while a small oval mound and weathered limestone boulders mark its northern half.

On the N-facing slope of a drumlin. An oval area (int. diam. 20.8m N-S; 29.8m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1m) with a very shallow external fosse. The interior is concave. The N portion of the interior is raised by 1.7m to compensate for the hillslope, however, it still retains a slope down to N. There is an oval mound (4.3m x 3.7m; H 0.4m) in the N half of the interior with a number of small weathered limestone boulders beside it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
