What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Bunduff is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Bunduff, County Sligo, Ireland. A fieldworker visited in 1991 and recorded a circular area about twenty metres across, enclosed by a stone wall faced with large boulders and standing about one and a half metres high inside and out. The site has no fosse, its original entrance is no longer recognisable, and dense overgrowth now hides the largely intact remains.

The monument was visited in 1991 (SMR (1989) file) and the fieldworker recorded a circular area (diam. c.20m) enclosed by a stone wall faced with large boulders (Wth. c.1.5; int. H c.1.5m; ext.
