What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Kilvarnet North is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a pasture knoll and forms a circular area raised two metres above the surrounding ground. Grass covers the drystone wall foundations that define the interior edge, while a dry flat-bottomed fosse runs along the western and northwestern arcs. A visible step marks the base of the bank along the eastern arc.

The edge of the interior is defined by grass-covered foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 2m). An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3m at base; D 0.7m) is evident along the W and NW arcs. A step (Wth 6m), defined by a scarp (H 0.1m) is visible at the base of the bank along the E arc.
