What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lavagh (leyny By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies undulating pasture on a gentle south-facing slope as a D-shaped raised area measuring 25.5 metres from north-west to south-east. A scarp defines the straight north-west side and parts of the north and north-east, while an earthen bank borders the remaining sides. An external dry flat-bottomed fosse extends along the south-west and straight north-west edges.
