What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownacreevy (tireragh By., Dromard East Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. Patrick F. O'Donovan compiled the description on 19 January 2011. The site occupies a low rise on a north-south ridge in pasture.

Situated on a low rise on a N-S ridge in pasture. Raised subcircular area (dims. 55m NE-SW; 51m E-W) enclosed from SW-N-NNE by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth. 5m; H 1.2m). This has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SSE-S-SW. Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 1.2m). Against the base of the outer face of the bank at NW is a short length of drystone walling which is probably a relatively modern feature. At the outer foot of the bank from SW-N-NNE is a fosse (Wth. 5m; D 0.95m). Breaks in banks at N, E, and NW. The latter (Wth. 1.6m) has an accompanying causeway and may mark the original entrance. The internal ground level is uneven. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
