What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Sunnagh Beg stands on a drumlin spine in County Leitrim, Ireland. A grass-covered circular area measures 43.5m north-south and 43m east-west, bounded by an overgrown earthen bank and external fosse. An entrance and causeway appear at the south-southeast. The shape suggests human making, yet local names and stories leave room for wonder about what lived there before records began.
