What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Toberroddy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Toberroddy, County Sligo, Ireland. The roughly circular site joins another structure at its northeast edge and keeps a shared bank along that arc. An earthen bank with gaps borders the southwest and southeast, while a steep scarp defines the remaining edge. The interior slopes gently southward despite local raising and cutting on the hillslope.

In pasture, on a steep S-facing slope. This rath is conjoined with another (SL037-05902-) at NE. A roughly circular area (diam. 30.4m N-S; 26.6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.6m) SW-SE with numerous gaps and sharing the bank of the conjoined rath along the NE arc; it is defined by a scarp (H 1.8m) SE-SW. Even though the S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope and the N portion is cut into the upslope, it still retains a gentle slope down to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
