What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyglass (tireragh By., Dromore Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area sits on the west side of a narrow ridge above the Carrowcor River. It has an inner earth and stone bank, a surrounding fosse, and an outer bank that a modern field fence cuts at the north.

Situated on the W side of a low, narrow NNW-SSE ridge a short distance above the E bank of the Carrowcor River. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 OS 6-inch map but not shown on the 1913 edition. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by the low remains of a bank (Wth 1.3-2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) of earth and stone. Outside this is a fosse (Wth 1.4-2.5m) with an external bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.4m). Both banks appear to have been faced with stone. The external bank is truncated at N by a modern field fence on an E–W axis. The interior slopes down slightly from W to E. In the NE quadrant there is a small hollow, obscured by overgrowth.
