What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bunnafedia is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bunnafedia, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in undulating pasture with a raised circular area twenty-three metres across and a broad scarp one and a half metres high. An infilled external fosse appears from the north, east and south, while a laneway destroyed the perimeter and part of the interior from the southwest to north-northwest. A two-metre causeway across the fosse at the east-southeast probably marks the original entrance.

Situated on a slight rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 23m) defined by a broad scarp (H 1.5m). No bank. The outline of an infilled external fosse (Wth. 1.6m - 2m) is identifiable from N-E-S. From S-W-NNW the perimeter and portion of the interior have been destroyed by a laneway which encircles this part of the site. Causeway across the fosse at ESE (Wth. 2m) probably indicates original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
