What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Creggyconnell is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Creggyconnell, County Sligo, Ireland. The D-shaped cashel measures 17m on each side and stands on a slight SW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A 1.7m wide and 1.7m high drystone bank of rubble limestone encloses the site, with a curved section running NNE-SW and straightened sections raised from SW-NE and NW-NNE. The wall was reconstructed on all sides using an un-coursed facing of random rubble with a core of smaller rubble, but the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
