What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corkagh Beg, County Sligo, Ireland. Patrick F. O'Donovan compiled the details on 19 January 2011. The circular earthwork stands on a low rise in poorly-drained pasture and offers excellent views in all directions.

Situated on a low rise in lowlying, poorly-drained pasture affording excellent views in all directions. Substantially raised circular area (28m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) enclosed on top by a broad bank (Wth. 7.6m), low on its inner face (int. H 0.4m) but with a steep drop (ext. H 2m at SSW; 4.8m at NNE) on its exterior slope. Enclosing the base of the platform is a fosse (Wth. 2.4m at SSW, 3.4 at NNE) with an external bank (Wth. 6.6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.45m). At ESE corresponding breaks (Wth. 2m) in the enclosing banks with a ramp-like causeway across the fosse represent the original entrance. There is evidence for stone kerbing at both the internal and external faces of the inner bank on either side of the entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
