What is recorded here

Indicated is a possible ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is a circular area 30 metres across, enclosed by a low earthen bank only 0.2 metres high. The bank runs level from south to northwest on a south-facing pasture slope. Its shallow shape and quiet setting suggest an old boundary marker more than a strong defensive wall.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (30m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by low (H 0.2m) earthen bank, levelled S to NW. Possibly a ringfort. 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. 396.
