What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Oghambaun is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Oghambaun, County Sligo, Ireland. It stands on the top of a rise in rough grazing as the south-easternmost of two conjoined enclosures. The south half of a circular enclosure about twenty-five metres wide remains inside low drystone wall ruins. A hut site and possible underground passage occupy the south-west quadrant while hawthorn trees partially cover the cashel.

On the top of a rise, in rough grazing. The south-easternmost of two conjoined enclosures (see SL038-039001-). Indicated on the 1941-2 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure but only the S half of this now remains (diam. c. 25m E-W). The interior is enclosed by low remains of a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.1m). There is a hut site (SL038-039004-) and a possible Man-made underground passage (SL038-039003-) in the SW quadrant. The cashel is partially overgrown with hawthorn trees. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
