What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lavally (tirerrill By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lavally (tirerrill By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It stands on the south-facing slope of a ridge and appeared as a thirty-metre circular area on the 1914 map. The earthwork is now levelled, leaving a twenty-six-metre raised area that is eighty centimetres high. A shallow dip runs across the site, and a field boundary crosses the western interior.

On the S-facing slope of a ridge. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a raised circular area (diam. c. 30m). This rath has been levelled and is now evident as a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 26m; H 0.8m). A slight dip (Wth c. 3.5m) evident SW-NNE may indicate an infilled fosse. A field boundary crosses the W half of the interior, close to the perimeter. 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).
