What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kiltykere is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltykere, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies gently undulating pasture on level ground and measures twenty-six metres across. An earth and stone bank four-point-three metres wide and zero-point-four metres high defines the circle, though no ditch remains visible. Two straight drystone field walls now cross the interior and pierce the bank at opposite edges.
