What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Tully (carbury By., Calry Ed) is a fairy fort or ringfort in Tully (carbury By., Calry Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies a slight southwest-facing slope where the ground falls steeply to the west. A low broad bank of earth and stone, three metres wide and up to 0.4 metre high inside, encloses a circular area 21 metres across. A small circular quarry lies immediately inside the bank at the west-northwest, while an east-west drystone field wall abuts the bank's outer side at the north-northwest; no ditch is visible and the original entrance is unrecognisable.
Situated on a slight SW-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Natural ground level falls away steeply to the W of the site. Circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2-0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank may represent the line of a robbed out cashel wall as there are modern drystone field walls in the vicinity. An E-W orientated drystone field wall abuts the external side of the bank at NNW. The original entrance is not recognisable. A small disused roughly circular quarry (diam. 4m; D 0.4m) is located immediately inside the bank at WNW. Compiled by: Patrick F.
