What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Graigue is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Graigue, County Sligo, Ireland. The circular earthwork sits on a slight north facing slope in flat pasture and encloses a twenty two metre area with a four metre wide bank rising thirty centimetres. A three and a half metre gap in the southern bank may mark the entrance, while an outer bank remains too indistinct to confirm.

Situated on a slight N facing slope in flat to undulating pasture. Comprises a circular area (int. diam. 22m) enclosed by a bank (Wth 4m, H 0.30m). There may be the remains of an outer bank as well but it is too indistinct to be certain. There is no indication of a ditch. A gap in the S part of the inner bank may be an entrance (Wth 3.50m). In an aerial photograph (OS 1. 3310-1) the rath appears to be surrounded by field boundaries (SL020-052002-) but these are not visible on the ground.
