What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cuilsheeghary More is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Cuilsheeghary More, County Sligo, Ireland. The oval enclosure measures 20.6 by 17.1 metres inside a ruinous sod-covered wall that rises 1.1 metres internally. Builders raised the eastern half to balance the hillslope, although the interior still slopes gently downward. Bushes partially cover the wall, and another cashel lies one hundred metres to the north-northwest.

The E half is raised to compensate for the hillslope though the interior still slopes gently down to E. Bushes partially cover the wall. Another cashel (SL040-123----) lies c. 100m to NNW.
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).
