Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Bunduff, County Sligo, Ireland. It appeared on the 1912 map as a roughly circular enclosure about twenty metres across, but only a short overgrown wall remained in 1946. No visible remains existed by 1954, when a man-made underground passage and fragment of a decorated rotary quern emerged near the site.
On a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1912 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) incorporated into field boundaries at W and NE. In 1946 the only extant remains comprised 'a short length of very overgrown stone wall about 3 ft. [0.9m] high'. There have been no remains of this monument visible since at least 1954 (SMR file).
