What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dawros is in County Sligo, Ireland. The site stood on a low dry rise bordered by bogland to the east and west before quarrying removed the earthwork and the rise itself. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map recorded an embanked circular area about 25 metres across with a trigonometrical station in the centre.

Originally located on top of a low dry rise with bogland to E and W. The possible rath and the rise on which it stood have been removed due to quarrying. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) with a trigonometrical station in the centre. 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).
