What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Tobercurry is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a circular stone enclosure about 37 metres across, with a 2.2-metre-wide wall of dumped stone faced in large limestone blocks. A lane passes along its south-west edge, cattle have worn the grassy interior, and bushes crowd the perimeter.

In level pasture, adjacent to a lane. A raised circular area (diam. c. 37m) enclosed by a stone wall (Wth 2.2m; int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H c. 0.6m) of dump construction faced with large limestone blocks and topped by a modern stone wall. The grassy interior is heavily poached by cattle. The perimeter is overgrown with bushes. A lane skirts the SW arc. 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).
