What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cregg is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cregg, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures twenty metres across and holds a narrow high bank of earth and stone. A disused quarry removed part of the scarped edge near the eastern side while a public road touches the external base. A break and ramp at the west-southwest may mark the original entrance.

Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Another rath, in Ballincar (SL008-130---), is located 100m to the E. Raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by a narrow high bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 3.1m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NNW-SE the bank is absent and the site is defined by a scarped edge. A small quarry, now disused, has removed a portion of the scarped edge at E. A public road abuts the external base of the scarped edge NE-SE. A break (Wth 1.8m) in the bank and a ramp to the exterior at WSW may mark the position of the original entrance.
