What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Corwillick is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Corwillick, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures about twenty metres across and contains an earth and stone bank three point eight five metres wide. A scarped edge replaces the missing bank on one side while a public road bounds the other. The original entrance remains unrecognisable in the gently undulating pasture.
Situated on a slight rise, on slight E-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.20m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NNE-ESE the bank is absent and the site is defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 0.5-1.5m) that increases in height from NNE-ESE to compensate for the underlying natural slope. From ESE-SSW the edge of the site is defined by a NE-SW orientated public road. The original entrance is not recognisable.
