What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clooneen (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight east-facing pasture slope and presents a raised circular area nineteen metres across. Earth and stone banks, a level berm and an external fosse surround the centre, although gaps appear along the northeast and west edges. A drystone field wall now crosses the site slightly north of its middle.

Immediately outside the bank is a 4m wide level berm with an external bank (Wth 4.05m; int. H 0.75m) on its outer edge, and outside that an external fosse (Wth 4.8m; D 0.5m). The internal bank encloses the site on all sides. From NE-ENE, the external bank and the berm are absent. From WNW-ENE, the fosse is absent. The original entrance is not recognisable. A WSW-ENE orientated drystone field wall crosses the rath slightly to N of centre. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
