What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockmoynagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockmoynagh, County Sligo, Ireland. The earthworks form a circular boundary around twenty-two metres across on a shallow southwest slope. A level interior contains one standing stone beside the inner bank, while the raised southwestern edge compensates for the natural tilt of the ground.

In undulating pasture, on a slight SW-facing slope. A raised circular area (22m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.65m) WSW-ENE and by a scarp elsewhere. The interior is level and the SW portion is raised to compensate for the natural slope. There is a standing stone (SL033-106002-) against the internal face of the bank at NNE. 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).
