What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisduff (carbury By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisduff (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies the west end of a level summit on a high narrow ridge in pasture. A low broad earth bank encloses a raised circular area, while a fosse runs along the external foot of the bank. Natural ground slopes down steeply outside the fosse, and a break with a causeway at the north east marks the original entrance.
