What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Oghambaun is in County Sligo, Ireland. The 1838 OS 6-inch map shows an embanked circular area about 35 metres across on a south-facing slope. An early 20th-century farmhouse and yard now cover the site, hiding the possible rath from ground-level view.
