What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (cooper) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (cooper), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the narrow north end of a pasture field on a gentle southwest-facing slope. A circular area roughly twenty-nine metres across remains defined by a low scarp and external dry fosse, though ploughing has reduced its visibility. Field boundaries now cut through the fosse on the west and east sides.

In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope; in the narrow N end of a field. A circular area (int. diam. c. 29m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) E-NNE with an external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 0.6m; D 0.1m) evident SE-WSW and NNW-N. The rath has been ploughed over and is barely discernible in places. The fosse is truncated by field boundaries immediately to the W and E. 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).
