What is recorded here
The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lugdoon is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a raised circular platform about twenty-five metres across, defined by an earthen bank three point four metres high. A fosse three point two metres wide and an external bank sit at the base of the mound. Dense scrub now covers the interior, blocking inspection of the rath.
In pasture, situated on the NW side of the top of a steep-sided NW-SE ridge. Raised circular platform (diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (ext. H 3.4m). At the base of the mound is a fosse (Wth 3.2m) with an external bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.7m). The interior of the rath is densely overgrown with scrub rendering inspection impossible.
