What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Agharrow is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Agharrow, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the western end of a slight east-west ridge and straddles a shallow southwest-facing slope in pasture. A circular raised area thirteen metres across sits inside an earthen bank four point eight metres wide. The external bank reaches between zero point nine five and two point two five metres because the site rises to compensate for the natural slope.

Situated at W end of slight E-W ridge, straddling slight SW-facing slope, in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 13m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.95-2.25m). The external height of the bank is greater ESE-W due to the fact that the site is raised to compensate for the underlying natural slope. A break (Wth 1.7m) in the bank at NNE marks the position of the original entrance. A second break (Wth 2.1m) in the bank at SW is modern. Compiled by: Patrick F.
