What is recorded here
Indicated is a possible ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is a subcircular raised area, 45m north-south and 50m east-west, defined by a low scarp in undulating pasture. It may have been a home, a boundary marker or a forgotten gathering place. The land still holds its shape, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.
In undulating pasture. Subcircular raised area (45m N-S; 50m E-W), defined by low scarp. Possibly a ringfort.
