What is recorded here

Indicated is a faint thirty-four-metre circle on an eastern slope in County Mayo, so shallow it may be a ringfort or only a memory of one. It belongs to the hidden architecture of western Ireland, where human making and fairy making use the same copper wire. A person who walks past it may be tempted to complete the circle with imagination, because the land has already done half the work.

In pasture, on E slope of slight rise. Circular raised area (diam. 34m E-W), barely visible above field level. Possible ringfort. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 313.
