What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Bunduff is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Bunduff, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight north-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A circular area about twenty metres across retains parts of a stone wall, though modern drystone field walls now link across the missing northeast and south sections. The original entrance is no longer recognisable.
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. c.20m) enclosed by a stone wall (Wth 2.15m; int. H 1.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The wall is absent from NE-S. From SW- NE, the wall has been reconstructed as a modern drystone field wall linking to a NW-SE orientated field wall that skirts the E side of the site. A second section of field wall links to the cashel wall at S. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
