Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Mullaghnaneane is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Mullaghnaneane, County Sligo, Ireland. A modern drystone wall marks part of the original boundary while the remainder lies beneath a farmyard. Two sheds occupy the interior and the entrance remains visible on the low hillock.
Situated on the level summit of low hillock in gently undulating pasture immediately to W of farmyard. The cashel is enclosed SW-NE by an arc (L 25m) of modern drystone field wall (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.6m) built along the line of the original enclosing wall. The remainder of the enclosing wall has been removed and now lies under a farmyard. There is no fosse visible at ground level. A shed covers the NE quadrant of the interior while another smaller shed straddles the line of the absent wall at SSE. Original entrance is recognisable.
