What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Donaghintraine is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture on a ridge overlooking a stream about 150m to the west. The 1837 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map depicts the site as a circular enclosure. A central gently domed raised area stands inside the D-shaped boundary formed by the earthen bank and field fence.
