What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Doonowney is in County Sligo, Ireland. The 24m circular cashel sits on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture south of a small old farmyard, offering excellent views in all directions. A modern drystone wall defines the perimeter, with a low exterior scarp of collapsed limestone rubble at its base. A 1.5m break at WNW may mark the original entrance, while a modern NW-SE field wall links to the cashel at NW and ESE.
