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.
