Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonagh (corran By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonagh (corran By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on the southwest-facing slope of Kesh Corann, where a thirty-metre circular area remains enclosed by a broad earthen bank. Ferns now overgrow the rath, softening the edge of the ancient earthwork while the interior still slopes downward toward the west.
