What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rosmore is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rosmore, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing slope below a ridge summit and contains a circular area nearly thirty metres wide. An earthen bank surrounds the space, while blackthorn bushes now cover the perimeter and interior.

On a S-facing slope, just below the summit of a ridge. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.6m). An external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.7m) is evident along the W arc. The interior slopes gently down to S and there is a Man-made underground passage (SL027-136002-) in the SW quadrant. A linear field boundary wall, with a drain on its N side, is incorporated into the bank along the N arc. The perimeter and the interior are densely overgrown with blackthorn bushes. 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).
