What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Rath, County Mayo, stood on a gradual NE-facing slope overlooking low-lying wet pasture, with Lough Caldragh c. 200m to N. The 1919 edition showed an oval hachured enclosure c. 20-25m NW−SE and c. 19m NE−SW, but the 1838 OS 6-inch map did not show it. It has since been levelled, leaving no visible trace at ground level.
