What is recorded here
Liscarragh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Creggyconnell, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a slight rise in gently undulating pasture and contains a roughly circular area about twenty-five metres across. An earth and stone bank surrounds the centre, measures about five metres seven centimetres wide, and stands between fifty centimetres and two metres five centimetres high. Part of the bank now joins a field boundary running north-northeast to west-southwest, while dense growth blocks entry to the interior.
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised roughly circular area (diam. c.25m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth c.5.7m; int. H c.0.5m; ext. H c.2.5m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been incorporated into a NNE-WSW orientated field boundary bank from W-NW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior of the site is densely overgrown and inaccessible.
