What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockalass (corran By., Kilshalvy Ed) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the south end of a narrow pasture ridge and appeared as a circular enclosure on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map. The visible remains form an almost square area bounded by a steep scarp and a wet outer fosse, though later digging removed part of the interior and a hedged field bank now lines the outer lip.

At the S end of a narrow moderately steep-sided pasture ridge. Depicted on the 1st ed. (1837) of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (est. max. diam c. 40m). An almost square area (int. 22m N-S; 21.3m E-W) is defined by a fairly steep scarp (H 1.2m at S-1.9m at N) and a wet outer fosse (Wth 1.6m at N-3.4m at WNW) WNW-N-SE, which has been dug away along with portion of the interior SE-S-WNW. A later hedged field bank runs along the outer lip of the fosse WNW-N-SE. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 05 July 2013
