What is recorded here

Enclosure in Breaghwy (tirawley By.) is a lost circular hollow on a Mayo drumlin, mapped in 1830 but erased from the later survey and now hidden beneath pasture. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker, or a place for ritual, yet no wall or bank remains to prove which. The landowner still remembers its steep, bowl-shaped sides, suggesting human hands shaped the earth before forgetting or farming removed the proof.

In pasture, located on a low hill/drumlin, with excellent views S–NW. This enclosure is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown as a circular hachured enclosure (diam. c. 15m) on the 1830 edition. There is no visible trace at ground level. According to the landowner there was a circular hollow (diam. c. 10m) with steeply sloping sides and a concave or bowl-shaped profile at this location; it did not have an enclosing bank or wall. There is a rath (MA039-028----) 190m to E and another (MA039-029----) 130m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 January 2020
