What is recorded here
Brackloon is a rath in County Mayo, Ireland. Its interior has been largely quarried out, leaving a short east-west drystone wall and a northern fragment exposed. The passage may have been buried or broken when stone was taken, but the remaining wall still marks the shape of what was hidden beneath the mound.
Located slightly NW of centre in the interior of a rath (MA072-066----).
The interior of the rath has been largely quarried out. A short length of drystone masonry (L c. 1m; H c. 0.6m), oriented E−W, is exposed in the N section face of the quarried area. At its W end it intersects with poorly preserved remnants of walling which extends for c. 3m to N. This structure may be the remains of a Man-made underground passage, which has been damaged by the quarrying.
