What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisdoogan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisdoogan, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture at the southeast end of a ridge and presents a raised roughly circular area measuring twenty-eight metres north-south and twenty-three metres east-west. An earthen bank and scarp define its boundary, while a level interior contains two smaller banks that probably date from recent times.

In pasture, at the SE end of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (28m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) SSE-SW where it is incorporated into a field boundary and by a scarp (H 2.2m) SW-SSE. The interior is level. In the SE quadrant a slightly angled earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.6m) forms an internal division and in the SW quadrant there is a small arc of earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 0.5m); both of these features are probably of recent origin. 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).
