What is recorded here

West of a Mayo graveyard and north of a mound, an invisible circle appears only when grass grows uneven above hidden structure. The enclosure has no wall, gate or marker for human hands, yet it still shapes the land. Maybe people lived inside that circle before memory faded. If so, they left no bone, pot or stone worthy of naming. The grass keeps the shape because the earth remembers what humans forgot.
In pasture, located to W of a graveyard (MA092-078002-) and N of a mound (MA092-079----). Listed in the RMP (1997) as an enclosure based on a small circular cropmark visible in an aerial photograph (GSI M 95 -6; Roll 213, pr. 33, SMR file). There is no visible trace at ground level.
