What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonmacduff is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonmacduff, County Sligo, Ireland. The possible rath sits in a garden about twenty metres north of a railway line but is no longer visible at ground level because overgrowth now covers the area. Survey maps from 1838 and 1913 showed an embanked circular or oval raised area between fifteen and twenty metres across.

In a garden, c. 20m N of a railway line. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 20m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as an oval raised area (c. 15m N-S; 18m E-W) on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. The garden is now covered with overgrowth. 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).
