What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lecarrow (tireragh By., Buncrowey Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lecarrow (tireragh By., Buncrowey Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope on a low north-northwest to south-southeast ridge within undulating pasture. An eighteen-point-five-metre circular area is enclosed by a four-point-five-metre wide earth and stone bank that stands eighty centimetres high internally and sixty centimetres high externally. Farming has levelled the bank from the north to east-southeast, hiding the original entrance.
