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.
