What is recorded here
Fairy fort / ringfort in Grange is a fairy fort or ringfort in Grange, County Sligo, Ireland. The site sits on a slight rise in pasture and appears as an oval enclosure measuring 36 metres by 28 metres on the 1837 map. A later 1912 map shows a roughly circular enclosure about 30 metres across. Thorn bushes now cover the ground completely, blocking all access to the earthworks.

Depicted as an oval-shaped enclosure (dims. 36m NNW-SSE; 28m ENE-WSW) on the 1837 edition of the 6'' OS 6-inch map and a roughly circular hachured enclosure (diam. c.30m) on the 1912 edition. The site is now densely overgrown with thorn bushes and is inaccessible.
