Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Barnarobin is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Barnarobin, County Sligo, Ireland. The circular site spans thirty-two metres and stands on level pasture. A drystone rubble limestone wall defines the boundary, though a modern break and absent section interrupt the structure. A separate field wall crosses the eastern side without revealing the original entrance.
Situated on level ground in gently undulating, generally S-facing, pasture. Circular area (diam. 32m) defined by a drystone rubble limestone wall (Wth 1m; H 0.4-1.8m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The cashel is un-coursed with larger boulders at the base and is highest SSE-NW. A NNE-WSW orientated drystone field wall crosses the E side of the site intersecting with the edge of the site at NE and at SSE. The cashel wall is absent NE-SSE and the site is defined by a very slight scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. There is a modern break (Wth 2m) in the cashel wall at NNE.
