What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Sroove is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies an oval pasture area measuring 57 metres north-south and 54 metres east-west on a slope overlooking Lough Gara. A drystone wall with a rubble core encloses the site, standing 1.6 metres thick with an internal height of 1.1 metres and an external height of 1.2 metres. The wall survives best along the northwest and southwest arcs but is removed almost to ground level elsewhere.
