Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Seafield is in County Sligo, Ireland. The oval site measures 30 metres northeast-southwest and 20 metres northwest-southeast on a pasture ridge. A ruined stone wall, 1.7 metres wide and 0.4 metre high, marks the northeast edge, while a 1.5 metre gap faces east. A shallow depression near the west edge may cover a collapsed underground passage, and scattered sea shells suggest people once lived there.
In pasture, located a ridge in an area of undulating terrain. Raised, oval steep-sided area (30m NE-SW by 20m NW-SE). A ruined stone wall (Wth 1.7m; H 0.4m) defines the top of the platform at NE-E side. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at E. A depression (5m x 3.2m; D 0.75m) near the W edge of the site may indicate a collapsed Man-made underground passage (SL020-007003-) and the presence of a few sea-shells in the matrix of the depression may indicate a midden (SL020-007002-).
