What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or ringfort in Cottlestown, County Sligo, Ireland. The circular enclosure measured 25 to 30 metres across on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps before local information places its levelling in the 1940s. A slight rise remains in the level pasture, but no other trace of the boundary is evident at ground level.
