What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Treanmore (corran By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough heather-covered upland pasture at the south end of a terrace on the east-facing slope of a high ridge. A ruined stone wall, now a low moss-covered bank, encloses a subcircular area measuring 18.5 metres northeast-southwest and 21 metres northwest-southeast. Two hut sites and a man-made underground passage lie inside the enclosure, while ruined walls radiate east, south-southeast and southwest from the main circle.

In rough heather-covered upland pasture, at the S end of a terrace on the E-facing slope of a high ridge. A subcircular area (18.5m NE-SW; 21m NW-SE) enclosed by a ruined stone wall evident as a low moss-covered stone bank (Wth 2.3m; H 0.5m). The interior slopes gently down to SE. There is a hut site (SL040-012002-) in the NW quadrant and another hut site (SL040-012003-) and a Man-made underground passage (SL040-012004-) lie in the SW quadrant.
