What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tullyhugh is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies level pasture and forms a roughly oval area 45.2 metres north-south and 38 metres east-west. An earthen bank 2.8 metres wide and 0.8 metres high on both sides borders the north and south arcs, while a scarp borders the rest. A shallow dry ditch 4 metres wide and 0.1 metre deep remains along the southwest arc, and numerous gaps break the bank.

In pasture, on level ground. A roughly oval area (45.2m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.8m) along the N and S arcs and by a scarp elsewhere. Remains of a shallow dry external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.1m) are evident along the SW arc. Numerous gaps occur in the bank. A D-shaped platform (H 0.4m) revetted in parts by stone and with a hut site (SL032-106002-) on its S side, abuts the W arc of the interior. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL032-106003-) in the NW quadrant of the interior. 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).
