What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownagleragh, County Sligo, Ireland. The rath appears on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map as an embanked circular area and remains visible as a raised subrectangular patch on a northeast-southwest ridge. An earthen bank arcs across the west-east side while linear field boundaries form the southeast and southwest edges. Some stones protrude from the internal sod at the east, and another enclosure lies thirty metres further east.

In pasture, on top of a NE-SW ridge. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m). It is now evident as a raised subrectangular area (20m N-S; 24m E-W) defined W-E by an arc of an earthen bank and by linear field boundaries which form the SE and SW sides. The bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.45m) has some stones protruding from the sod on the internal face at E. An enclosure (SL025-126----) lies c. 30m to E. 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).
