Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, close to the NW edge of a low ridge. A slightly raised roughly circular area (24.6m NE-SW; 25m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m). The bank is low internally E-S and incorporated into a field boundary system W-N. Low eroded gaps occur in the bank at SSE (Wth 1m) and W (Wth 1.2m). The interior slopes gently down to S. There is a quarry immediately outside the bank at NW. 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).
