What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tormore is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tormore, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a raised oval area 42m north-south and 22m east-west on a slight south-facing slope in upland pasture. An earthen scarp 0.4 to 1.7m high encloses the area, standing higher southeast and southwest to compensate for the natural slope. A north-south track straightens the eastern edge from northeast to southeast, while a 2.5m break with an exterior ramp marks the original entrance.

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating upland pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 42m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.4-1.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The scarped edge is higher SE-SW than elsewhere to compensate for the underlying natural slope. From NE-SE the scarped edge has been straightened off by a N-S orientated track that abuts the E edge of the site. A break (Wth 2.5m) in the scarped edge with a ramp to the exterior marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
