Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corhawnagh

In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope at the foot of the Ox Mountains. A raised oval area (23m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a c. 20m long stretch of earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.75m) along the W arc and by a scarp (H 0.3m) elsewhere. Linear field boundaries indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map abutting the bank at E and S have been removed. 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).
