What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Castletown, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures 22.6 metres across and sits on a gentle north-facing slope overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A wide, low bank of earth and stone encloses the site, with a narrow stone-lined break at the east-southeast marking the probable original entrance. Excellent views extend in all directions except toward the south-east, south and west, where higher ground limits the sight.
