What is recorded here

Indicated was a twenty-metre ringfort on a Mayo drumlin, visible on maps from 1838 to 1922 before ploughing erased its walls. It sat beside two children's burial grounds, suggesting a family lived there across generations rather than a single forgotten warrior. The land keeps the shape of loss even when the stones disappear, inviting you to imagine whose kids played at that exact spot before the soil forgot them.

In pasture, located on a small drumlin. There is a stream/drain 80m to E and the Deel River is located 300m to S. This monument is shown on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular ringfort-sized enclosure (diam. c. 20m). It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level.
