What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Finisklin (corran By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Finisklin (corran By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture on the NE-facing slope of a drumlin, though a house now covers the E half and the earthwork no longer shows at ground level. Survey maps from 1838 and 1914 marked a circular raised area about 20 to 24m across, preserving the shape that local development has since hidden.

In rough pasture, on the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. This possible rath is not visible at ground level; a house has been built on the E half of it. It was indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 24m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as a roughly circular raised area (diam. c. 20m) on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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).
