What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowcardin, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the west-facing slope of a low north-south ridge in pasture, where a one-metre scarp curves around a raised area twenty-five metres long. The straight eastern edge follows a field fence, while the ground beyond that line has been levelled until only faint undulations remain visible.

Situated on the W-facing slope of a low N-S ridge in pasture. Shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval enclosure, and on the 1913 edition as a hachured D-shaped area. Raised semi-circular area (diam. c. 25m N–S; 15m E–W to field fence) defined on the curving side at SSE–N by a scarp (H 1m), and on the straight side to E by a field fence on a NNW–SSE axis. To E of the field fence, the rath has been levelled and only ephemeral undulations are visible. At the outer foot of the scarp at S–NW is a modern roadway. Compiled by: Patrick F.
