What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lavagh (leyny By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It stands in pasture at the north end of a low ridge, twenty metres east-southeast of Abbey Court friary. A thirty-one-metre circular area holds an earthen bank with gaps along the west arc and a shallow external fosse along the south-west arc. A possible underground passage and adjacent field system remain associated with the site.
