Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rathmulpatrick

In rough pasture, on a NE-facing slope overlooking the Feorish River and just below the summit of a ridge. A circular area (23m NW-SE) raised 1.1m above the surrounding ground level and truncated at SW by a field boundary. The interior is defined by a 3m wide band of grass that may mark the line of a levelled enclosing bank. The interior slopes gently down to NE and is overgrown with rushes. 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).
