What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowcarragh, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on the lower south-facing slope of a ridge but remains invisible at ground level. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map drew an embanked circle twenty-five metres across, while the 1914 version showed a twenty-eight-metre circle containing trees. Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman, Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy documented these features in their County Sligo inventory.

In pasture, on the lower S-facing slope of a ridge. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a solid line enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 28m) with trees in the interior. 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).
