What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Sheerevagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Sheerevagh, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a west-facing ridge pasture and holds a 22-metre by 16-metre oval inside an eroded bank, while a shallow external ditch runs outside that bank. A bowl barrow stands about 40 metres to the east, and overgrowth now covers the perimeter.

In pasture, near the top of a ridge, on a W-facing slope. An oval area (22m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by a heavily eroded earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.9m), best preserved along the E and N arcs and by a scarp (H 0.6m) along the SW arc. An external fosse (Wth 3m) is visible as a shallow depression. The interior slopes down to W. The perimeter is covered with overgrowth. A bowl-barrow (SL034-124----) lies c. 40m to 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).
