What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tobertelly is in County Sligo, Ireland. The site occupies pasture below a ridge summit on a west-facing slope. Although no longer visible at ground level, survey maps from 1838 and 1914 recorded an embanked circular or oval area roughly thirty metres across.

In pasture, just below the summit of a ridge on a W-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked area (c. 30m NNW-SSE; c. 25m ENE-WSW). 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).
