What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Creaghadoo is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Creaghadoo, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight south-facing slope in upland pasture above an eastern stream. A narrow earth bank encloses a raised circular area twenty-two metres across, though livestock have broken the western, north-western and north-eastern edges. The original entrance remains unrecognisable because no ditch appears at ground level.
