What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Cooldrumman Upper, County Sligo, Ireland. A NE-SW drystone wall bisects the 18m circular cashel, dividing the best-preserved SE bank from the NW slabs set 1.9m apart. The original entrance is no longer recognisable, while rubble still strewn across the SE interior marks the site's worn condition.
Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The site is bisected by a NE-SW orientated drystone field wall. The cashel bank is best preserved to the SE of the wall with the external basal facing surviving E-SE. To the NW of the wall only the internal and external basal facing survives consisting of slabs set on edge 1.9m apart. The original entrance is not recognisable. The SE side of the interior is strewn with rubble.
