What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Tawnymucklagh is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a roughly circular area about 25 metres across, enclosed by a drystone wall with a rubble core and flat slab facing. The wall is mainly robbed of stones, stands 1.6 metres thick, and reaches 0.5 metres inside and 1.2 metres outside. Thorn bushes now cover much of the site, blocking entry to the interior.
