What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lislahelly is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Lislahelly, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a slight south-facing slope in upland pasture and contains a raised circular area twenty-one metres across. A broad earth and stone bank encloses the centre, while a north-west break and exterior ramp mark the original entrance. Two modern breaks appear at the north-east and south-east, with the latter sitting beside a modern field boundary.

Situated on a slight S-facing slope, in gently undulating upland pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a broad bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m) of earth and stone. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank is very slight SSE-WSW. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank and a ramp to the exterior at NW mark the position of the original entrance.
