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 consists of a 35m circular area enclosed by an irregular, low, broad bank of earth and stone. The bank measures 2-2.7m wide and 0.1-0.3m high, with no visible fosse at ground level. A wire and post fence lies along the top of the bank from northwest to northeast, while numerous small breaks prevent identification of the original entrance.
