What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowbrickeen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowbrickeen, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight northeast-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A broad low bank of earth and stone encloses a raised circular area, while a wide external fosse remains visible from the southwest to east-southeast. A field wall now incorporates part of the site edge, and derelict farmhouse wall footings abut the southeast boundary.
