Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Cloonagleavragh is a fairy fort or ringfort in Cloonagleavragh, County Sligo, Ireland. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map showed a circular ring of trees about twenty-five metres across inside a square field, with a man-made underground passage marked as a cave in the centre. No remains are visible at ground level today, and the feature disappeared from the 1913 map.
In gently undulating pasture. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular ring (diam. c. 25m) of trees, encompassing most of the space within a square field (c. 30m N–S; c. 30m E–W). In the centre of the ring of trees a Man-made underground passage (MA011-042001-), marked as ‘Cave’, is located. It is possible that the ring of trees marks the remains of a ringfort. Not marked on the 1913 edition. There are no remains visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
