What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Quigaboy is in County Sligo, Ireland. The earth and stone bank stands 1.8 metres high and is two metres thick. A second ridge is two metres high at its outer edge. A gap is two metres wide at the north east.

Situated on a low rise in otherwise lowlying, level pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a low bank (Wth. 4.3m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 1.65-1.8m) of earth and stone with an external fosse (Wth. 4m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth. 6m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 0.8m). The interior slopes down gently from centre towards the entrance gap (Wth. 2.4m) at NE. A depression, in the NE quadrant, and a small cavity, infilled with stones, in the inner bank at SE, may be evidence of a Man-made underground passage (SL010-023002-).
