What is recorded here
The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Parke is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a NE-SW ridge in pasture and consists of a circular area thirty-point-seven metres across. A partially eroded earthen bank surrounds the space, with a two-point-five-metre break at the northeast that may mark the original entrance. The interior remains level with the exterior ground surface rather than rising above it.

A break (Wth 2.5m) in bank at NE may mark original entrance. There is another break (Wth 2m) at S. The interior is not raised but appears to be roughly at the same level as exterior ground surface.
