Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carrownadargny

In rocky undulating pasture, at the N end of a natural promontory on a slight S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (23.5m N-S; 22.6m E-W) enclosed by a sod-covered stone wall (int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.3m). There is a steep natural slope (H c. 10m) at the external base of the wall at W. The interior is undulating and slopes slightly down to S. The remains of a three-roomed stone-built house (SL035-008002-), which utilises the curving cashel wall as its S boundary and an E-W stone wall (H 0.4m) as its N boundary, occupy most of the S half of the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
