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 slightly raised circular area measures 19m east-west and 18m north-south, enclosed by a 3m wide stone bank reaching 0.45m internally. A modern drystone field wall stands atop the original bank northwest to east, while dense growth hides the southeast to northwest edge.
On the level summit of slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (dims. 19m E-W; 18m N-S) enclosed by a stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.45m). The stone bank encloses the site NW-SE. From SE-NW, the edge of the site is densely overgrown and inaccessible so it not possible to determine if the bank is extant here. A modern drystone field wall (H 1m; T 0.4m) has been constructed on top of the stone bank NW-E. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. Drystone field walls link to the cashel bank at NW and at NNE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
