What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doonflin Lower is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a level terrace in rough pasture and contains a raised circular area about twenty-five metres across. An earthen bank encloses the space, while remnants of an external fosse appear at the north-west edge. Ephemeral traces of a possible second bank rest at the outer lip of that fosse.
