Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drummacool

In undulating pasture, on a low rise of rocky outcrop. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a raised roughly oval area (25m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m). Large stone slabs are discernible at intervals on top of the scarp. The rath is densely overgrown with long grass and scrub. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL027-160002-) in the SW quadrant. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
