What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Loughanelteen is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Loughanelteen, County Sligo, Ireland. It is a circular stone enclosure on the valley floor with a surviving limestone wall and a connected field wall. The structure is recorded as a ringfort or cashel, though its entrance and inner boundary are no longer clear.
Situated on level floor of narrow N-S orientated valley. Circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a drystone wall of limestone rubble (Wth 1m; H 1m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The wall is extant WSW-SSE with collapsed portions at NW, NNW and at E. From SSE-WSW the wall is absent and only the footings are visible. A NNW-SSE orientated drystone field wall links to the cashel wall at SSE. The original entrance is not recognisable.
