Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Graniaroe

In rough pasture, on the gentle N-facing slope of a ridge. A slightly raised circular area (25m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m). A possible entrance (Wth 2m) is at SE. The N portion of the interior is slightly raised to compensate for the hillslope. 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).
