What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Sroove is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture on a southwest-facing slope and contains a circular area twenty-eight metres wide, enclosed by a one-point-seven-metre-wide drystone wall. The internal face uses limestone slabs laid lengthways, while much of the external face has been removed and the rubble core has collapsed outwards, leaving the northeast and northwest arcs very ruinous.
