What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort on a Mayo ridge where blackthorn has strangled the interior into an impenetrable green chamber. The earthen bank still stands, though field walls and thorns have rewritten its edges, suggesting human hands kept returning even as the place resisted entry. Two other raths watch from nearby, forming a small council of buried rooms across the ridge.

Located on top of a ridge with a gentle fall of ground immediately to NW, providing good views SW−NE. At ESE ground level rises slightly towards the summit of the ridge. Roughly circular area (diam. 23-25m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.85m, at E) which has been modified and incorporated into a later system of field walls. The bank is thickly ringed with hawthorn and blackthorn trees and the rath interior is engulfed in an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn. A field wall on a NW−SE axis crosses the interior to SW of centre. There is a possible rath (MA071-144----) 125m to SW and a rath (MA071-146----) 80m to NE.
