What is recorded here

Indicated is an earthen ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland, a raised oval boundary still visible in pasture. It is not a polished monument but a living land mark, part farm, part memory, and part the kind of place where people once drew lines around what they valued.
In pasture. Raised (H 2.5m), oval-shaped area (33m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by scarp. Probable remains of ringfort. Bank; levelled. Overlain by field fences on E and S. Area in SW 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. 379. Date of upload: 12 January 2015
