Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullanaglug is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tullanaglug, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies pasture on a low rise and preserves a south-western scarp 13 metres long and 0.5 metre high. Sand extraction removed the south-eastern quadrant around 1954, but an 1838 map recorded the complete circular embankment 30 metres across.
In pasture, on a low rise. Scant remains of a possible rath consisting of an arc of scarp (C 13m; H 0.5m) S-W. The SE quadrant was removed c. 1954 during sand extraction. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m). 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).
