What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Killeenduff (tireragh By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight west-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A narrow earth and stone bank encloses a raised circular area about twenty metres across. Limestone slabs revet both feet of the bank, with the best preservation visible from the southeast-southeasterly and northwesterly directions.
