What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Moneygold is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Moneygold, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the highest point of a steep-sided ridge in pasture and preserves a circular or oval stone boundary about twenty-four metres across. Quarrying removed much of the west, north and centre, leaving only a broad foundation course along the remaining circuit. No entrance or surrounding ditch is visible on the damaged site.

Situated on the highest point of a steep-sided ridge in pasture. Recorded by a fieldworker in 1991 as an originally circular or oval area (max. dim. c.24m) enclosed by a stone wall. Much of the W, N and centre of the site have been quarried away. For the remainder of the circuit most of the stone has been removed from the wall leaving only the foundation course (Wth. 2.7m). No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable (SMR file). Access to the monument was denied to a fieldworker who attempted to visit the monument in 2003. Compiled by: Patrick F.
