What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corkagh Beg is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corkagh Beg, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a moderate south-facing pasture slope as a raised circular area measuring 25 metres north-south and 27 metres east-west. An earth and stone bank, 3 to 4.4 metres wide and 0.9 metre high inside, encloses the site without a visible fosse. Erosion has damaged most of the outer bank face, while a 2.6 metre southwest break marks the original entrance.

Situated on moderate S-facing slope in pasture. Raised roughly circular area (dims. 25m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3-4.4m; int. H 0.9m). No fosse is visible at ground level. The exterior face of the bank has been eroded on its outer face for the majority of its circuit. The interior of the site has been raised to compensate for the underlying natural slope. A break (Wth 2.6m) in the bank at SW marks the position of the original entrance.
