Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilsallagh

In rough pasture, on top of a drumlin at the junction of four fields. A raised roughly circular area (int. diam. 24.8m N-S; 20.1m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) along the W, N and E arcs and by a scarp (H 0.8m) along the S arc. A gap occurs in the bank at W. The interior slopes gently down to N. A N-S field boundary crosses the interior. 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).
