What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cullagh More is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cullagh More, County Sligo, Ireland. The 28m circular site sits on a low east-west ridge in pasture, enclosed by a narrow earth and stone bank. Farming changed the structure because the bank joined a field hedge, gained drystone rubble, and lost its eastern section. The original entrance and inner ditch are no longer visible.
Straddling the undulating summit of a low broad E-W orientated ridge, in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1-1.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been incorporated into field boundary hedge and the external face has been faced with drystone rubble. The bank has been removed E-NW and its circuit is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.45m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
