What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullaun is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing slope of the Ox Mountains within pasture, forming an oval area roughly twenty-two metres north-south and thirty metres east-west. A shallow scarp marks parts of the perimeter, while field boundaries now cut through the northern edge and western interior. Local information says an earthen enclosing bank was levelled in the 1950s during land reclamation.
