What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lackancahill is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight elevation in level pasture and forms a raised circular area twenty-eight point five metres across. A three-metre-wide earthen bank encloses the space, stands one point six metres high outside, and leaves a possible eastern entrance one point six metres wide. A semi-circular heap of stones near the centre marks a possible man-made underground passage.
