What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Stonehall OR Carrownageeragh is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupied a pasture slope as a possible rath with a circular embankment roughly 40 metres across. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map recorded this shape before the earthwork was levelled from view.
In pasture, on a slope. This possible rath has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 40m). 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).
