What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Coolbeg is a fairy fort or ringfort in Coolbeg, County Sligo, Ireland. The site sat under a modern dwelling house and garden on a south-facing slope between a lane and a road. Maps from 1837 and 1940 showed an oval or circular enclosure about twenty metres across. Development has since levelled the ground, removing all visible surface trace.
