What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doonycoy is in County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a low rise in pasture near a rocky shoreline and contains a raised circular area measuring 46.7m across. A substantial earthen bank encloses the space, with its best preservation visible on the northern half. A wide break on the western side marks the probable original entrance, now partially blocked by a modern field boundary.
