What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Sroove is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture on a southwest-facing slope as an oval area 31 metres long and 23.6 metres wide. A drystone wall encloses the space, standing 1.05 metres high inside and 1.4 metres high outside. Limestone slabs form the internal face, while the external face has disappeared and the rubble core has collapsed outward.

In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope. An oval area (int. diam. 31m NE-SW; 23.6m NW-SE) enclosed by a drystone wall (T 2.5m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.4m). The external face of the wall is removed and the rubble core has collapsed outwards. The internal face is built of limestone slabs mostly laid lengthways. A section of the wall at N is ruined and topped by a stone field boundary. There is a possible entrance (Wth 0.7m) at NNE. The interior slopes down to SW; a pile of stones in the NE quadrant is covered with overgrowth. 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).
