What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, holding two earthen banks and a fosse on a gentle slope. The inner bank still rises eighty centimetres while the outer has been levelled from west to southeast, leaving a southern gap and a quarried eastern half. It sits 120 metres southeast of another ringfort, suggesting a small cluster of human or supernatural residence rather than a lonely marker. The damaged earth does not erase the shape; it reveals how much of the original boundary has already surrendered to time and use.

In pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope, 120m SE of ringfort (MA121-023----). Subcircular area (44m N-S; 40m E-W), enclosed by remains of two earthen banks, with intervening fosse. Well preserved inner bank (H 0.8m) and fosse (D 0.8m). Outer bank (H 0.4m) levelled W to SE. Gap in S. E half of interior has been quarried. 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. 96.
