Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cross East

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Much of the wall appears rebuilt, yet the ring remains clear in low pasture. A person may have lived inside, tended animals, or simply marked the edge of a field. The fairies keep the rest.
In low-lying pasture. Circular area (27m N-S; 28m E-W), enclosed by stone wall (Wth 2m; H 1m). Much of wall appears to have been rebuilt. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 277.
