What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Sroove is in County Sligo, Ireland. The site preserves a circular area 30 metres across, enclosed by the base of a drystone wall 2 metres thick. The wall stands 0.1 metre high inside and 0.2 metre high outside, but it has lost stone and is covered in sod and moss. Trees and shrubs grow heavily through the remains, and another cashel lies about 80 metres to the east.

The wall appears to have been robbed of stone and what remains is mainly sod- and moss-covered. The cashel is heavily overgrown with trees and shrubs. Another cashel (SL046-021----) lies c. 80m to E.
