What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rue is in County Sligo, Ireland. It survives in pasture on a north-facing slope as a raised circular area about thirty metres across, edged by a scarp one metre high. An external flat-bottomed ditch, six metres wide and 0.2 metres deep, is evident along the east-southeast to south-southeast side. A field boundary aligned east-northeast to west-southwest crosses the interior, and a recent quarry hollow lies at the northwest edge of the rath.
