What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derrysallagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Derrysallagh, County Sligo, Ireland. The roughly circular earth and stone bank stands on the south end of a ridge in rough pasture, though a linear field boundary cuts across part of it. Bushes now overgrow the wet, uneven interior, hiding much of the ancient structure from view.
