What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullaghanarry is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullaghanarry, County Sligo, Ireland. The possible rath sits in pasture on the lower west-facing slope of a ridge near the south corner of a field. It consists of a northwestern scarp and a northeastern earthen bank that join the field boundaries. The 1914 OS 6-inch map showed the feature as an arc of hachures in that same location.
