What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ellistronparks is a rough circular cashel in County Mayo, Ireland, preserving a stone wall, eastern causeway, western underground passage and two possible hut sites. It is not a passive ruin but a shaped threshold, where pasture, rain and memory still move through its gaps.

In rough pasture, 400m S of cashel (MA118-080001-). Roughly circular area (39m N-S; 44.5m E-W), enclosed by remains of stone wall (H 0.3m; Wth 1.4m). Entrance with causeway (Wth 2.2m) on E. Man-made underground passage (MA118-104002-) on W side. Circular hut site (MA118-104003-) (diam. 4.2m; int. H 1.8m) in interior. Rectangular earthen structure (L 14.5m; Wth 3.8m) adjoins external face at SE, possible hut site. The above description has been derived from D.
