What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowbrickeen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowbrickeen, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight broad rise in gently undulating pasture and contains a raised circular area twenty-six metres across. A five-metre-wide earth bank encloses the space, while an infilled fosse remains visible from the northwest to the east-northeast. A four-metre break at the south-southeast with a causeway marks the original entrance.

Situated on slight broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 5m; int. H 0.75m). From SSW-NW there is a fosse (Wth 6m; D 1.4m) which is infilled but still visible from NW-ENE. A break in the bank at SSE (Wth 4m) with a causeway across the fosse marks the position of the original entrance. There are two modern breaks in the bank at NE (Wth 1.9m) and at E (Wth 2.2m). A small quarry hole lies immediately within the bank at E. At the N side of the interior is a slightly raised crescent shaped platform of uncertain significance (L E-W 12m; Wth N-S 5m; H 0.3m) defined by the bank of the rath W-E and by a scarped edge on the S side.
