What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Claragh Irish is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Claragh Irish, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on the south-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular raised area measures 25.5 metres north-south and 22.5 metres east-west. A flat-topped earthen bank surrounds the southwest and southeast, while a steeper scarp forms the remainder of the boundary.

In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (25.5m N-S; 22.5m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m) SW-SE and by a scarp (H 1.6m) elsewhere. There are numerous gaps in the bank. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope, however the interior retains a gentle slope down to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
