What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cuiltydangan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cuiltydangan, County Sligo, Ireland. The levelled rath sits on a tree planted ridge and preserves a roughly circular raised area about twenty seven metres wide. A northern earthen bank joins a field boundary while narrow forestry trenches cross the interior and disturb the southern edge.

On top of a ridge, recently planted with trees. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 27m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m). An earthen bank evident along the N arc (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.7m) appears to be part of or incorporated into a field boundary system. The interior is crossed by narrow forestry trenches on a N-S axis. The southern edge of the rath is difficult to trace due to disturbance by forestry. 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).
