What is recorded here
Indicated is a stone ringfort on a Mayo ridge, its thick wall still standing two metres high around a circular pasture. The stones may have blocked human storms or fairy storms, but the gap on the southeast still invites entry. A person could have lived inside the wall, marked the seasons, and disappeared into the story the land tells.
In pasture, on ridge sloping to S. Circular area (65m N-S; 68m E-W), enclosed by substantial stone wall (Wth 1.8m; H 2m), S to NW. Low bank of earth and stone NW to S with gap (Wth 2.2m) on SE. Internal division on SE of site.
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. 286.
