What is recorded here

Indicated is a shallow earthen ring in Mayo pasture, its thirty-seven metre circle half swallowed by grass and a stone fence cutting across the middle. It sits two hundred metres from a larger fort, suggesting human hands shaped the land before forgetting or fury erased the rest. The fairy story fits the shape: a place big enough to hold a life but faint enough to vanish when measured.

In pasture on E-facing slope, 200m NW of ringfort (MA100-013----). Circular raised area (33m N-S; 37m E-W), defined by earthen bank (H 0.5m), partly overgrown, levelled on W and NE, with external fosse (D 0.3m). Stone field fence bisects site's interior, E to W.
