What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doonmadden is in County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area sits on a natural rise above undulating pasture, with a gentle fall toward a stream forty metres east. A substantial earth and stone bank encloses the space, remaining upstanding only at the west and northwest while elsewhere it has reduced to a scarp. Traces of a possible fosse appear at the outer foot of the western bank, though the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
