What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cummeen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cummeen, County Sligo, Ireland. The site contains a semi-circular bank enclosing roughly fifty-four metres of ground, with a gate breaking the southeast edge and brambles hiding much of the structure. It appeared as a large circular enclosure on the 1837 and 1940 OS maps, while a rectangular building now occupies the centre near the surrounding farmyard.
