What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisduff (leyny By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisduff (leyny By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing pasture slope and forms a circular area twenty-one metres across. A north-south stone field boundary divides the interior, while an earth and stone bank defines the eastern edge. Trees now occupy the eastern half, and a quarry pit to the south has encroached on a small boulder-faced annexe.
