What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It holds a overgrown subcircular area 30m E-W and 25m N-S inside a broad earthen bank averaging 6m wide. The bank rises 0.6-1.1m internally and 1.2-2m externally, though livestock and burrows have cut gaps and reduced part of it to a 2.5m scarp. A second rath lies about 110m to the NNE, suggesting the ridge once carried more than one enclosed life.

In mixed hazel and coniferous woods at the S end of a broad ridge with a narrow strip of improved pasture running N immediately to the N. An overgrown subcircular area (int. diams. 30m E-W; 25m N-S) is defined by a generally uniform broad, earthen bank (av. Wth 6m; int. H 0.6-1.1m; ext. H 1.2-2m) which has been reduced to a scarp (H 2.5m) from E-SSE. The mostly round-topped enclosing bank is heavily burrowed in places and gapped by livestock at SW. A second rath (MA070-032----) is visible c. 110m to the NNE. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Leo Morahan Date of upload: 3-11-2025
