What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Knockbrack (leyny By.) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is an oval cashel on the southern slope of a ridge, enclosed by a drystone wall that still stands about one and a half metres high outside. The wall has been broken in places, with stones pushed inside, and its outer face has been repaired where it now serves as a field boundary. The southern half of the interior is raised to level the ground against the hillslope.

In pasture, on the southern slope of a ridge. An oval area (dims. 30m N-S; c. 33m E-W) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 2.2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-SW. The wall has been removed SW-NW and stones pushed up against the inside of the surviving wall. The external face of the drystone wall has been repaired in places where it is used as a field boundary. The S half of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. Field boundaries extend out from the cashel wall at N and S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
