What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Farranyharpy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Farranyharpy, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures nineteen metres north to south on the southeast edge of a low east west ridge in rough pasture. A scarp encloses the site, reaches one point two metres high at the south, and connects to fragmentary bank remains at the southeast. Widely spaced stones at the northeast mark the original inner edge of the now levelled bank, while a north south field wall bisects the rath east of centre.

Situated on the SE edge of a low E-W ridge in rough pasture.

At NE an arc of widely spaced stones appears to be remnants of a kerb marking the original inner edge of the now levelled bank. The rath is bisected to E of centre by a N-S field wall.
