What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Derry is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Derry, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in gently undulating pasture, forming a raised oval area enclosed by an earth and stone bank, a fosse, and an external bank. Dense overgrowth now obscures most of the structure, while small breaks at the north, southeast, south-southeast and west mark places where animal traffic has worn through the bank.
