What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cabragh (tirerrill By.) is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Cabragh (tirerrill By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture on an east-facing slope, where a ruinous stone wall encloses a circular area nearly twenty metres across. A corn-drying kiln sits in the sloping interior, while a separate hut cluster lies just west of the main structure. These remains preserve the shape and function of an old settled place beside Cabragh.
