What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cashel South is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cashel South, County Sligo, Ireland. The site sits on a southwest-facing slope but no longer shows at ground level because the Sligo-Galway road cut through its centre and widened later. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map drew a circular embankment about twenty-eight metres across, while the railway line runs parallel beside the road on the east.

On a SW-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 28m) bisected by the Sligo-Galway road (on a N-S axis). This road has since been widened. The Sligo-Galway railway line lies parallel and adjacent to the road on the E side. 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).
