What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Falnashammer is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Falnashammer, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies low-lying, undulating pasture and preserves a circular area twenty-one metres wide. Heavily eroded earthen remains enclose the site, though a modern house, garden wall and trackway now cut across parts of the bank. The SE interior is disturbed, while the faint curve of the bank remains evident along the SW-W edge.
