What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cooldrumman Lower is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cooldrumman Lower, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in gently undulating pasture and presents a slightly raised oval area measuring 23 metres east-west and 21 metres north-south. An irregular low broad bank of earth and stone, 3.8 metres wide and 0.3 metre high internally, encloses the space without a visible fosse at ground level. Field clearance rocks dumped along the external face on all sides have distorted the original profile, while a slight 4-metre break in the northern bank may mark the position of the original entrance.
