What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Portavaud is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Portavaud, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in gently undulating pasture and contains a raised circular area measuring 32 metres north-south and 31 metres east-west. A low, broad earth bank surrounds the site, though missing sections reveal a 2.3 metre scarp at the northwest and southwest edges. The northeast, east and southeast boundaries have lost their banks, no fosse remains visible at ground level, and the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
