What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular stone ringfort in rough Mayo pasture, holding a possible narrow house against its southern wall. The field fence now cuts through the western edge, reducing the ancient boundary to a forgotten line under grass. Someone may have lived inside that small rectangle, watching the karst horizon through the southeastern gap before the land swallowed the purpose.

In rough pasture, mixed with karst, 300m S of cashel (MA121-074001-). Circular area (40m N-S; 40m E-W), enclosed by low stone wall (H 0.9m; Wth 6m) of dump construction. Gap (Wth 1m) in SE. Field fence bisects W of site; N to S. Possible house site (L 7.5m; Wth 2.3m) adjoins interior of S wall, with possible entrance (Wth 0.7m) on N side. 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. 246.
