What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, holding a forty-metre circular space behind a low earthen bank. Three gaps mark its southern edge, inviting entry into a place where human history may have surrendered to myth. The land still remembers the shape of hands that built it, even if those hands belong now to creatures no longer seen.

In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope, 300m to SW is ringfort (MA100-121----). Circular raised area (40m N-S; 40m E-W), enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.8m), with shallow external fosse (D 0.3m) SE to NW. Three gaps in S. 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. 201.
