What is recorded here
Fairy fort / ringfort in Drum West is a fairy fort or ringfort in Drum West, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupied a slight south-facing slope in gently undulating pasture and appeared as a roughly circular area about twenty metres across on the 1836-7 Ordnance Survey map. It disappeared from the 1940-1 map because the ground was levelled, leaving no visible remains at the surface today.
