What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kiltycahill is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltycahill, County Sligo, Ireland. The oval site spans thirty metres east-west and twenty-four metres north-south within level elevated pasture. A four-metre-wide earth and stone bank rises one metre internally, while a shallow fosse runs along its external base. A modern field boundary bank now covers the north-south section, and the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
