What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cabragh (tireragh By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cabragh (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope near the Leaffony River and contains a raised circular area twenty-one metres across. A low bank of earth and stone still surrounds part of the site, though the north and east sections are largely levelled.
