Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullaghanarry

In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a rise. A circular area (34m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.8m) along the N and S arcs and by a scarp elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.2m) is evident along the S arc. The N portion of the interior is raised up to 0.4m above external ground level. 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).
