Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bunnacranagh

In pasture, on the E-facing slope of a rise. The rath is indicated as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) on the 1911 OS 6-inch map, adjoining the S side of a larger rath (SL042-019----). The arc of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.3m) is evident along the S arc, incorporated into a field boundary system. 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).
