What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullaghanarry is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on a ridge and forms a raised circular area measuring twenty-nine point three metres north-south and thirty-three metres east-west. A flat-topped earthen bank defines the west and east edges, while a scarp marks the remaining boundary. An external fosse surrounds the structure except where a field boundary cuts through the north-northeast arc.

In pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (29.3m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.8m) W-E and by a scarp elsewhere. An external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.3m) survives all round, except along the NNE arc where a field boundary truncates the line of the fosse. Where the scarp exists the interior slopes down gently from the edge towards the centre for c. 4-5m. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
