What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullyhugh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tullyhugh, County Sligo, Ireland. The Sligo to Galway road cuts through the northwest half of the levelled earthwork, leaving a 1.1 metre high scarp along the northeast and southeast edges of the remaining eastern portion. This surviving arc measures 10 metres from northeast to southwest and 14 metres from northwest to southeast, while a man-made underground passage occupies the interior.

In undulating pasture, on a low rise. An arc of scarp (H 1.1m) NE-SE, appears to form the E portion (dims. 10m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE) of a now levelled rath. The Sligo to Galway road truncates the NW half of the rath. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL032-091002-) in the interior. A scarp is indicated NE-SW on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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).
