What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Tullyvellia is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a steep south-facing slope of the Ox Mountains, where a collapsed drystone wall encloses a roughly circular area measuring 26.8 metres north-south and 24.5 metres east-west. The wall is 2.7 metres wide, has a 1.2 metre entrance at the east and a break at the northwest, and shows traces of inner and outer facing made of large stones. The southern half of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope, while a northwest-southeast field boundary wall crosses the inside.

On a steep S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A roughly circular area (26.8m N-S; 24.5m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.7m). Traces of inner and outer facing of large stones are evident. The entrance (Wth 1.2m) is at E; there is a break in the wall at NW. The S half of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. A NNW-SSE field boundary wall crosses the interior. A field system (SL031-017001-) lies to SE, S and SW of the cashel. A circular enclosure (SL031-016----) lies c. 50m to SW. 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).
