What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Streamstown (leyny By., Streamstown Ed) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low rise on the lower southeast-facing slope of a ridge. A four-metre-wide earthen bank encloses a circular area twenty-four metres across, while a shallow external ditch marks the northwest edge. A kinked internal bank crosses the centre on a northwest-southeast axis.

In pasture, on a low rise on the lower SE-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (24m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.1m) SE-NNW and by a bank topped with a hedgerow and incorporated into a field boundary NNW-SE. An external fosse (Wth 5.6m: D 0.4m) is evident along the NW arc. A low earthen bank, kinked midway along its length, crosses the interior on a roughly NW-SE axis. 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).
