What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowgilpatrick is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowgilpatrick, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised oval area measures 32m north-south and 27m east-west, defined by a levelled bank of earth and stone 4.6m wide and 0.3m high. A 2m wide fosse and 2m wide outer bank follow the external foot from southwest through north to northeast, while a modern field boundary marks the outer edge elsewhere. Large heaps of field clearance stones and other debris largely obscure the remainder of the site.
