Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cuilmore

On top of a rise, surrounded by low-lying wet ground. A raised roughly circular area (int. diam. 25.4m E-W; 28.7m N-S) enclosed by a low earth and stone bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m). Possible stone facing is evident on the internal face of the bank at NE. The interior is uneven and slopes slightly down to N and there is a small mound (2.2m E-W; 2.5m N-S; H 0.55m) in the S half. 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).
