What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glen (tirerrill By., Drumcolumb Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glen (tirerrill By., Drumcolumb Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The levelled rath sits in rough pasture on a ridge, preserving a twenty-five metre circular area enclosed by a low grass-covered earthen bank. Dense rushes mark a possible external fosse, while a field boundary cut a four metre gap into the eastern arc.

In rough pasture, on top of a ridge. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a raised circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a low grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m). A dense growth of rushes may indicate the line of an external fosse. A N-S field boundary truncated the edge of the bank on the E arc. A gap (Wth 4m) in the E arc is partially obscured by a field boundary. 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).
