What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowloughan East is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowloughan East, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a broad rise in gently undulating pasture as a slightly raised, roughly rectangular area measuring 32 metres north-south and 26 metres east-west. A narrow bank of earth and stone encloses the space, reaching 2.2 metres in width and 0.95 metres in internal height. The south-west to west-north-west section preserves the structure best because upright limestone slabs revet the internal face.

Situated on broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised, roughly rectangular area (dims. 32m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.95m). This is best preserved SW-WNW where the internal face is revetted with upright limestone slabs laid flat. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been modified and incorporated into field boundaries from NW-NE and from E-SE. A wide break in the bank at S (Wth 6.5m) probably marks the original entrance.
