What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kincuillew is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kincuillew, County Sligo, Ireland. The levelled site sits on flat boggy ground below the Ox Mountains and keeps a twenty-two metre arc of scarp. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map showed the embanked circular area before modern changes altered the earthwork.
On flat boggy ground, on the lowermost S-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. This rath has been levelled and remains consist of an arc (C 22m) of scarp (H 0.8m) which is evident ENE-S. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 20m).
