What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is a circular earthen ring on a low ridge, with a thin bank, a shallow outer ditch, and a possible entrance on the east. A farm building stands inside the ring now. The pasture stretches around it in soft ridges, as if the land forgot the fort was ever separate from it.

In pasture, on low ridge, surrounded by undulating pasture. Circular area (26m N-S; 27m E-W), enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.7m), with external fosse (D 0.3m) N to E. Possible entrance (Wth 1.9m) on E. Gap (Wth 4.6m) on S, marked by iron gate. Interior contains farm building. The above description has been derived from D.
