What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or ringfort in Cabragh (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures 27.5 metres across and keeps its earthen bank best on the northern half. A field fence at the east and south may still follow the line of the external bank shown on the 1913 map.

In pasture, located on a low rise in gently undulating terrain. Raised circular area (diam. 27.5 NNE–SSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m, at N) which is best preserved on the N half of the rath. On the 1913 OS 6-inch map the rath is shown enclosed by a fosse and external bank. A slight depression outside the bank at N may indicate the fosse but the external bank has been removed. At E–S a field fence skirts the rath possibly following the line of the original external bank. The entrance may have been at E where there is a low section of bank, now partly blocked by field clearance boulders. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 April 2013
