Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Baghloonagh

In low-lying inter-drumlin ground. A raised roughly circular area (int. diam. 28.1m N-S; 30.2m E-W) enclosed by an inner earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.9m). An intervening fosse (Wth 2m) is evident all round except along the N arc where it is silt filled. An outer earthen bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.4m) is evident along the S arc only. There is an entrance (Wth 4.9m) at NNE with a causeway. The interior is higher at the centre. A field drain truncates the rath at W. 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).
