What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrownadargny is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownadargny, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on a slight south-facing slope as a roughly circular raised area measuring twenty-two metres north-south and twenty metres east-west. An earthen bank forms part of the boundary while a taller scarp defines the rest, enclosing a dry interior clear of overgrowth. The western portion rises to compensate for the hillslope, but the eastern half slopes slightly downward toward the southwest.
