What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballybeg (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The raised oval area sits in level pasture, enclosed by an earthen bank and external fosse. Field boundaries have partially removed the bank from one side, while scrub now overgrows the site. The original entrance is no longer recognisable.
