Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Killeenduff (tireragh By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a 20m circular earthwork with a 3.6m wide bank and external fosse on a slight slope in pasture. A public roadway divides the site into two parts, and the eastern section has been partially levelled, leaving low remains where the fosse is still visible. A 4m break in the northern bank may mark the original entrance.
Situated on slight WSW facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.1m). The site is divided into two parts by a public NNE-SSW orientated roadway (Wth road 11m). From NNE-SSW, to the E of the roadway, the site has been partially levelled leaving low remains. The fosse is visible from NE-E and from SE-SW. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at NE possibly marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
