What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drumcormick is in County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies rough pasture at the base of a northeast-facing ridge slope, with an abandoned farmhouse positioned to the southeast. A raised circular area about seventeen metres across forms the main structure, bounded partly by earth scars and partly by a stone-faced edge. A spring well appears close by to the southeast.
