What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Farranyharpy is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Farranyharpy, County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised oval area measures 29 metres north-south and 18.5 metres east-west within degraded stone wall remnants. A linear surface depression extends from the southwest wall into the interior, marking the route of an underground passage. The structure sits on a ridge end with steep drops to the southeast and west-southwest.

In rough to average pasture, in an area of sharply undulating terrain overlooked to E by Red Hill. Located towards the SW end of a NE–SW ridge, with a steep fall of ground at SE and also at W–SW. At E there is a gentler slope. Slightly raised oval area (29m N–S; 18.5m E–W) defined by degraded remnants of a stone wall (ext. H 0.5m at E, 1.4m at W). The interior ground surface is uneven and strewn with sod-covered stones. At the inner face of the cashel wall in the SW quadrant there is an opening into a Man-made underground passage (SL018-051003-). Immediately to N of the opening, there is a linear surface depression, extending from the cashel wall into the interior to ENE for c. 7m, which appears to indicate the line of the Man-made underground passage. The cashel is dilapidated and poorly preserved. There is an enclosure (SL018-051004-) immediately to E. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 July 2013
