What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Sroove is in County Sligo, Ireland. The site is no longer visible on the ground because the cashel had been levelled, but it appeared on the 1838 map as a circular bank about 30 metres across and on the 1914 map as a roughly circular area about 40 metres across. It stood on a south-facing slope in pasture near the shore of Lough Gara, with a standing stone about 100 metres to the north-east.
