What is recorded here

Indicated (1838). is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowntober, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area sits in pasture on a low rise, with a band of boggy ground outside the scarp that may mark the line of a fosse. A field boundary runs immediately to the southeast along that possible fosse, while the 1838 Ordnance Survey map shows the site as an embanked circular area.

In pasture, on a low rise. A raised roughly circular area (15.5m N-S; 17.2m E-W) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.9m). A band of boggy ground (Wth c. 4m) outside the scarp SSE-NE may indicate the line of a fosse. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area. There is a NE-SW field boundary immediately to SE, on the line of the possible fosse. 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).
