What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Streamstown (leyny By., Streamstown Ed) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing slope on the west side of a road, where a one-metre scarp marks the southwest and southeast edge of a fifty-six-metre circular area. The southern third is now levelled because a farmhouse and yard were built there, although the 1838 Ordnance Survey map showed the complete circle planted with trees.
On a S-facing slope, on the W side of a road. A circular area (diam. 56m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 1m) SW-SE. The southern third of the rath has been levelled due to the construction of a farmhouse and yard. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as circular (diam. c. 50m) and planted with trees.
