What is recorded here

Indicated (1838). is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Achonry, County Sligo, Ireland. The levelled rath occupies an east-facing pasture slope above a farmyard and house, forming a raised oval area forty-four and a half metres north-south and thirty-five metres east-west. A shallow scarp and external fosse mark its boundary, while a hedgerow separates the interior from the farmyard to the south. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map still shows the site as an embanked circular area about thirty-five metres across.

In pasture, on an E-facing slope, with a farmyard and house to S. This rath is levelled and is now evident as a slightly raised oval area (44.5m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.5m) with an external fosse (D 0.05m) W-E. The edge of the interior is defined by a hedgerow E-W, separating the farmyard from the rath. It is indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 35m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. 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).
