What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrownacreevy (tireragh By., Aughris Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownacreevy (tireragh By., Aughris Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a natural terrace above a stream bend, marking a slightly raised circular space twenty metres across. A slumped earth-and-stone bank surrounds the area, though degradation has weakened its eastern section. A four-to-five-metre break at the south-east preserves the original entrance.
