What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Rahelly is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a raised circular area about 22m across, defined by a substantial bank of rubble limestone 3.9m wide and 1.65m high externally. A 1.6m break in the northern bank marks the original entrance, while drystone field walls link to the outside at the southwest and east-southeast. The interior is densely overgrown with thorn bushes and briars, and an irregular hollow to the west may be the quarry that supplied the platform material.

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.22m) defined by a substantial bank of rubble limestone (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.65m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. E-W orientated drystone field walls link to the external face of the bank at SW and at ESE. A break (Wth 1.6m) in the bank at N marks the position of the original entrance. The interior of the site is densely overgrown with thorn bushes and briars. An irregular hollow (dims. 15m NE-SW; 2-8m E-W; D 0.4m) immediately to the W of the site may be a quarry feature and the source for the material in the platform. Compiled by: Patrick F.
