What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carroward is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carroward, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies hilly pasture on the north-facing lower slopes of the Ox Mountains and measures about twenty-three and a half metres across. A stoney rise along the southeast to south edge probably preserves original wall footings, while later field walls obscure the rest of the perimeter. A man-made underground passage remains within the interior.
