What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloghoge Lower is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloghoge Lower, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies low-lying pasture on a slight rise, forming a raised circular area about twenty metres across. A one-and-a-half-metre scarp defines the edge, while a faint bank remains along the northern arc. Dense vegetation now covers the eastern portion and interior, hiding a possible hut site previously noted by Prof.

In low-lying pasture, on a slight rise. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a scarp (H 1.5m) with a slight trace of an enclosing bank along the N arc. A possible hut site (SL034-192002-), noted by Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (SMR (1989) file) in the interior, was not found as the E portion and the interior are now densely overgrown. Field clearance stones are dumped in the N half of the interior.
