What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Altanelvick is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Altanelvick, County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised oval area measures 28m east-west and 26m north-south atop a north-south ridge. A low stone wall 3.7m wide and 0.6m high encloses the site with visible internal and external facing stones. A blocked-up gap at east-southeast probably marks the original entrance, while traces of a man-made underground passage appear adjacent to the wall at south-west.
