What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Bunduff, County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area measures 22m across and sits on an east-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A 1.5m wide drystone wall reaches 1.6m internally, though the NNW to SW section lost its stones and now shows only a 0.2m external scarp. Surviving wall sections were largely rebuilt into north-south field walls that link to the cashel at SW and NNW, while an east-west wall connects at NNW.
On a slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1.6m). From NNW-SW the stone wall has been removed and the edge of the site is defined by a slight scarp (ext. H 0.2m). The surviving wall has been largely rebuilt and incorporated into N-S orientated field walls that link to the cashel wall at SW and NNW. An E-W orientated field wall links to the cashel bank at NNW. The location of the original entrance is unclear. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
