What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Treanmore (corran By.),murhy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Treanmore (corran By.),murhy, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies upland pasture on the steep north-west side of a Bricklieve Mountains ridge, where a slightly raised circular area about twenty metres across still marks the interior. A south-western scarp rises sixty centimetres before merging into the natural slope, while a north-west to south-east field boundary crosses the western edge. Another rath lies about sixteen metres to the north-west.

In upland pasture, at a break of slope on the steep NW side of a ridge in the Bricklieve Mountains and within a field system (SL040-06301-). This possible rath is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AVI 78) taken in 1968. It is now levelled and the remains consist of a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined S-SW by a scarp (H 0.6m) which merges with the steep natural slope; elsewhere the raised area merges into the surrounding field. A NNW-SSE field boundary crosses the W edge of the interior. A rath (SL040-069---) lies c. 16m to NW. 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).
