What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Grange Beg is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a small, slightly raised area atop a hill in rough pasture. A low bank of earth and stone encloses the space, though part of the bank now forms a field boundary. Faint traces suggest an external ditch at the south and southwest, but the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
