What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Loughannacrannoge is a fairy fort or ringfort in Loughannacrannoge, County Sligo, Ireland. The site appears as a circular enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map but has since been levelled. Remaining features include an oval area measuring 25 metres north-south and 21 metres east-west, with contiguously set boulders at the northwest that may be kerb remnants. A modern field boundary overlays part of the rise, while no fosse or original entrance remains visible.
