Enclosure in Shantallow, County Mayo

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a level area on a ridge top, with a fall of ground c. 25m to W, providing extensive views. A circular enclosure (diam.20-25m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level. A minor road, on a N–S, axis crosses the location, bordered at the E by a vegetable garden and a concrete cattle crush.
