Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Castlegal (carbury By., Cliffony North Ed) is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Castlegal (carbury By., Cliffony North Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map showed a circular enclosure about fifteen metres across on level ground in gently undulating pasture. The cashel has since been removed, leaving a roughly rectangular field where larger rubble stones from its walls now mark the north-west boundary.
On level ground in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6'' map as a circular enclosure (diam. c.15m). The cashel has been removed and the area now appears as a roughly rectangular field (30m NE-SW; 25m NW-SE). Some larger rubble stones, presumably derived from the cashel walls, are incorporated into the NW boundary of the field. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
