Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Farranyharpy is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in rough undulating pasture as a raised circular area measuring 40.5 metres east-west and 35 metres north-south. A scarp defines the northern and north-eastern edge while a modern drystone wall marks the remainder, though the enclosing element is missing between the north-west and north-north-east. Large boulders scatter across the south-western interior.
