What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is an oval earthen ring with a shallow outer ditch, sitting in good pasture not far from another ringfort. The bank has grown thick with vegetation, hiding the shape beneath green weight. People may have walked its edge or avoided it entirely, depending on whether they believed fairies still lived there.

In good pasture, 380m W of ringfort (MA100-103----). Oval shaped area (38m N-S; 49m E-W), enclosed by heavily overgrown earthen bank (ext. H 2.1), with shallow external fosse (D 0.2m). Possible entrance in NE. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra.
