What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (corran By., Toomour Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (corran By., Toomour Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on a drumlin and forms an oval area measuring 24 metres by 18 metres across the interior. A stony bank 2 metres wide and 1.25 metres high internally encloses the space, though bushes now overgrow the structure and dense vegetation fills the centre. A later stone wall runs along the eastern arc of the original bank.
