What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rathlee is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathlee, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in pasture and preserves a degraded earthen bank around a subcircular area. A gap at the south-east may mark the entrance, although boulders now partly block it. Field clearance stones and boulders still cover the south and south-east interior.

In pasture, located on a low rise. Slighlty raised subcircular area (diam. 17.4m NE–SW) defined by degraded remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.4m). The S half of the interior appears to be slightly higher. The entrance may have been at SSE where there is a gap (Wth 2m), now partly blocked with boulders.
