What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockbrack (leyny By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It stands in undulating pasture on top of a ridge as a levelled circular area twenty-six point five metres across. Remains of a two-metre-wide bank and a scarp along the southeast arc define the perimeter, while the interior is heavily poached by cattle. A possible man-made underground passage occupies the western half, and the 1838 Ordnance Survey map showed the site as rectangular with the bank abutting field boundaries at the south and west.
