What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Clogher Beg is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Clogher Beg, County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area measures thirty metres across and contains footings made of two parallel limestone slab rows with rubble between them. These remains occupy a rocky pasture rise where a straight lane now marks the northern boundary instead of a continuous stone wall.
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating rocky pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c.30m) enclosed by the footings of a drystone wall of limestone rubble (Wth 1.85m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The footings of the drystone wall enclose the site NE-NW and consist of two parallel rows of limestone facing slabs with a fill of small rubble between. The inner or outer facing slabs are not continuous around the entire circuit and the footings often take the form of a low bank of rubble stone. At the base of the inner and outer sides of the footings is a spread (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) of rubble stone. The footings are absent NW-NE where a straight E-W orientated lane defines the N limit of the cashel. The original entrance is not recognisable.
