What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Carrowreagh (tireragh By.) is a fairy fort or ringfort in Carrowreagh (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area measures twenty-six metres north-south and twenty-five metres east-west on a very slight northeast-facing pasture slope. A narrow earthen bank once enclosed the site, though removal and field boundary changes have obscured the original entrance and much of the structure.
Situated on a very slight NE-facing slope in pasture. Slightly raised circular area (dims. 26m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by a narrow earthen bank (Wth 4.25m; int.
