What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Magheraghanrush OR Deer Park is a fairy fort or ringfort in Magheraghanrush OR Deer Park, County Sligo, Ireland. The subcircular feature measured roughly 32 metres and 29 metres on the 1912 map, while a smaller circular annex abutted its north-west side. The site sits on a slight south-facing slope within mature coniferous trees, but no visible surface trace remains at ground level today.
Situated on a slight S-facing slope within a plantation of mature coniferous trees. Not marked on 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Depicted on the 1912 edition as a subcircular feature (dims. c.32m NE-SW; 29m NW-SE) defined by hachures. A smaller circular area, in all probability an annex, is depicted abutting the NW side (SL015-057001-). No visible surface trace at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.
