What is recorded here

Indicated (1838). is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carns (leyny By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The embanked circular area measured about thirty-two metres across on the 1838 map but disappeared from the 1914 map, which marked the site as a quarry. An electricity substation now occupies part of the pasture slope where the earthworks once stood.

In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level and an ESB station has been built on part of it. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 32m). It is not indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map where the area is indicated as a quarry. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
