What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killandy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Killandy, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised oval area sits on a rise and measures 39 metres north-south by 48 metres east-west. A flat-topped earthen bank encloses the level interior, though numerous breaks disrupt its continuity. A strip of boggy ground outside the western arc may mark a silted-up fosse, while farm buildings stand immediately to the north.
