What is recorded here
Crockawaddy Fort was a small circular enclosure on a low Mayo rise, large enough for a household but no longer visible because reclamation flattened its earth. It appeared on maps in 1838 and 1929, yet the land itself has erased the fort, leaving only a name and a memory of shape. What was lost may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a child's running ring; the pasture no longer answers which.
In average pasture, located on a low rise.
This possible rath, is shown as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), named ‘Crockawaddy Fort’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps (1929). It was was levelled during land reclamation; there is no visible trace at ground level.
