What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Kilross is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Kilross, County Sligo, Ireland. The roughly circular cashel occupies a low rise in pasture broken by limestone outcrops. A moss-covered stony rise and stone-strewn scarp define its boundary, while the level interior holds small hummocks of moss-covered stone.
