What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnagore is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in the corner of a pasture field. The oval site measures forty-seven metres north-south and forty-one metres east-west. A flat-topped earthen bank borders the south and northeast, while a scarp defines the remaining edge.
