What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Magheragillerneeve OR Springfield is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Magheragillerneeve OR Springfield, County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a slight rise in gently undulating pasture, where a raised roughly circular area measures 22m east-west and 20m north-south. An earthen scarp 0.9m high encloses the interior, which rises on the south side to compensate for the underlying natural slope. A lane now abuts the original north limit after levelling the scarp from northwest to northeast, while the original entrance remains unrecognisable.
