What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carrownamaddoo (tireragh By.) is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carrownamaddoo (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It is a slightly raised oval area about twenty-six metres north-south and twenty-two metres east-west within a thicket on a low rise. A stone collapse three to six metres wide and ten centimetres high, plus large upright boulders, encloses the south-southwest, west and north perimeter. The rest of the boundary is now part of a field boundary, and the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
