Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Oghambaun is in County Sligo, Ireland. It appears on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map as a circular embankment about twenty-five metres across, though the ground no longer shows the feature. A possible standing stone stood seventy metres to the northwest, completing the local archaeological setting.
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m). This possible rath is not visible at ground level. A possible standing stone (SL038-037001-) stood c. 70m to NW. 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).
