What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumcondra is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drumcondra, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low ridge in undulating pasture and preserves an oval earthen bank with a western entrance. A field boundary now crosses the southern interior, but the western arc remains the clearest part of the structure.

On the N-facing slope of a low ridge, in undulating pasture. An oval area (int. diam. 14.5m N-S; 18.5m E-W) enclosed by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.7m), best preserved along the W arc. The entrance (Wth 2m) is at W. An E-W field boundary crosses the S half of the interior. 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).
