What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort on a Mayo ridge, its oval scarps still standing beside modern pasture. The western half remains sharp while the eastern half has slumped under time and use. A fence cuts through the middle, dividing ancient earth from ordinary farm life.

In pasture, located on the top of a ridge at the break of slope on the S-facing side. There are very good views to S over an expanse of lowlying pasture; views to NW–NE are less extensive along the undulating spine of the ridge top. Oval raised area (26m E–W; 21.5m N–S) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m at N, 2m at S). It is crossed centrally by a property fence on a N–S axis. To W of the fence the remains are clearly defined, but to E of the fence the rath has been partly levelled, surviving as a broadly slumped slope. The scarp has a vertical face with remnants of stone facing at SE–S where it was incorporated into an E-W field fence, now removed. There is no clearly defined entrance feature, but it may have been at NE where the scarp is lowest. The N half of the interior is level and there is a slope from centre down to S. Grass cover, with gorse and hawthorn on the scarp at SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 May 2022
