What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowhubbuck South, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies the NE edge of a ridge overlooking Killala Bay and contains a 28m circular platform surrounded by a wide earthen bank. A shallow western depression may mark an enclosing fosse, while a low internal raised area remains uncertain in function and age.

Situated at the NE edge of a NE-SW ridge at the SE side of Enniscrone village, overlooking Killala Bay. Raised circular platform (diam. 28m) enclosed by a wide earthen bank (Wth 4.5m at NE, 6.3m at SW; int. H 0.6m at NE, 0.85m at SW; ext. H 2.15m at NE, 2.75m at SW). Outside the bank at W–NW there is a shallow depression (Wth c. 2m) which may indicate an enclosing fosse. There is a break (Wth 1.4m) at W but it is not clear if this is an original entrance. Within the NE part of the enclosed area is a low, irregularly-shaped raised area (13.5m E-W; 11.5m N-S; H 0.3-0.6m) of uncertain function and antiquity. Compiled by: Patrick F.
