What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lislary is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lislary, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies wet, lowlying pasture as a large raised circular area measuring 48.20m across. An earth and stone bank encloses the centre, though gaps punctuate the structure and field boundaries now cover parts of the outer face.
