What is recorded here

Lisduff is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cuiltydangan, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a raised circular area about thirty metres across near the base of a west-facing ridge. An earthen bank marks the eastern edge while a steeper scarp defines the rest of the perimeter. Earlier surveys recorded erosion and gaps in the bank, particularly at the western and eastern sides.
