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 earthwork occupies a twenty-five-metre circular area within mature coniferous forestry. Two narrow earth banks frame a broad flat-bottomed fosse, while a four-metre break and causeway mark the original entrance. Field drains and boundary changes have altered parts of the external bank.

At the external base of the bank is a broad flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.65m). Immediately outside the fosse is a narrow bank of earth (Wth 3.15m; int. H 0.8m). A field drain has been cut along the external base of the external bank and the bank incorporated into a field boundary SW-NE. An E-W orientated relic field bank and drain link to the external side of the external bank at SSW and at SSE. A section of the external bank has been almost entirely removed SE-SSE.
