What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Rinbaun is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in pasture and contains a man-made underground passage off-centre to the west. Grass-covered drystone foundations and an earthen bank with stone revetments define the oval boundary, while a southeast gap provides the entrance.

An earthen bank along the W arc is revetted by a drystone wall on both the inner and outer faces. The entrance (Wth 2.2m) is at SE. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL032-126002-) in the interior, off-centre to W. An external fosse is visible along the E arc in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3033072-3).
