What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballynamona is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Ballynamona, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slightly raised oval area on the upper slope of a north-south ridge. A rubble limestone bank encloses the site, though modern drystone field walls now rest on parts of the ancient structure. The original entrance has become impossible to recognise beneath dense bushes and briars.

Slightly raised oval area (dims. c.28m N-S; c.32m E-W) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 6.3m; int. H 0.5m). There is no fosse visible at ground level.
