What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Sheerevagh is in County Sligo, Ireland. The 1838 map shows an embanked circular area about 28 metres wide on the north-facing ridge slope. A small earthen mound measuring 2 metres by 1.5 metres and standing 0.6 metres high sits in the north corner of the pasture. The main ringfort does not appear at ground level today.

In pasture, on the N-facing slope of a ridge. This rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 28m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A small overgrown earthen mound (2m x 1.5m; H 0.6m) in the N corner of the field may be associated with it. 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).
