Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Castlegal (carbury By., Cliffony North Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area spans twenty-five metres and holds a rubble limestone wall with un-coursed blocks and small fill. A public roadway removed the northeast and east sections, leaving an eight-metre break where footings still mark the possible entrance.
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a rubble limestone wall. The wall is constructed using un-coursed, un-mortared limestone block facing with a small rubble fill between. From NE-E, the wall has been removed by the construction of a public roadway. A break in the wall (Wth 8m) at where only the footings remain may mark the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
