What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Donaghintraine is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the north edge of an east-west ridge and measures 20.8 metres across. A 4.2 metre wide earthen bank encloses the raised circular area, standing 0.9 metres high inside and 1.4 metres high outside. The east, south and west sections of that bank have been modified into the field boundary separating Donaghintraine and Carrowcor.

Situated at the N edge of the top of an E-W ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 20.8m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth. 4.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.4m) which, from ESE-S-SSW, has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary which marks the border between Donaghintraine and Carrowcor townlands. At N is a narrow, shallow fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.3m) with a low counterscarp bank (Wth c. 1.8m; ext. H 0.2m), both of which appear to be relatively modern features. Original entrance not recognisable.
