Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Phaleesh

In rolling pasture, on top of a drumlin. A roughly circular area (int. diam. 19.5m N-S; 22.2m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.65m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1m). The bank survives best along the E arc and is low elsewhere. The interior is uneven and slopes down to E. There is some quarrying on the exterior of the rath at E. 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).
