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 raised circular area 26m wide sits inside an earth and stone bank reaching 1.6m externally. Large rubble boulders revet the outer bank, while a 3m break at the north-northwest marks the entrance.

Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.4-0.9m; ext. H 1.6m) of earth and stone. There is no trace of a fosse at ground level. The original entrance to the site is via a break (Wth 3m) in the bank at NNW. The external face of the bank is revetted with large rubble boulders roughly laid forming a wall 1-1.2m high. The revetting is best preserved SW-NW. From N-NE a roughly E-W orientated relic field bank incorporates the external face of the bank. The NW quadrant of the interior is slightly raised above the rest of the interior. The internal raised area (11m N-S; 13m E-W) is defined by a scarped edge (Wth 1m; H 0.45m) on the S and E sides and by the bank of the rath on the W and N sides. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL011-045002-) in the rath. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
