What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Grange is a fairy fort or ringfort in Grange, County Sligo, Ireland. The site sits on a slight rise in pasture and appears as an oval enclosure measuring 36 metres by 28 metres on the 1837 map. A later 1912 map shows a roughly circular enclosure about 30 metres across. Thorn bushes now cover the ground completely, blocking all access to the earthworks.
