What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cunghill is in County Sligo, Ireland. It lies in pasture on the south-facing slope of a ridge. Levelling reduced the rath to a raised circular area measuring 27 metres north to south, with a scarp reaching 0.8 metres in height along its southeast and northeast edge. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map showed the site as an embanked circular area about 30 metres across.

In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a raised circular area (diam. 27m N-S) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.8m) SE-NE. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m). 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).
