What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Corwillick is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Corwillick, County Sligo, Ireland. The circular site measures sixty metres across and sits on a slight south-facing slope in rocky upland pasture. Drystone wall footings enclose the area on all sides, with two parallel rows of slabs and limestone rubble visible where best preserved to the northwest and northeast. A man-made underground passage remains ten metres inside the western wall, while a wire fence and coniferous trees cross the interior from east to west.

Situated on slight S-facing slope in gently undulating rocky upland pasture. Circular area (diam. 60m) enclosed by the footings of a drystone wall (Wth .95m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The footings of the wall enclose the site on all sides but are best preserved NW-NE. Elsewhere only fragmentary are now visible. Where best preserved, the footings are made up of two parallel rows of slabs set on edge (0.8m apart) with a fill of small limestone rubble between. Elsewhere the footings can only be felt beneath the sod. An ENE-WSW orientated wire fence with a closely spaced row of coniferous trees crosses the interior to S of centre intersecting with the wall footings at SW and at SE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The remains of a Man-made underground passage (SL015-086002-) are located to W of centre in the interior, 10m within the footings of the cashel wall.
