What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is a raised circular area about thirty-five metres long and twenty-nine metres wide, with a low earthen bank. A possible hut site appears in the north, while a stone fence crosses the south. The shape suggests people once lived there before the fairies took the fort back.

In undulating pasture. Raised, roughly circular area (35m N-S; 29m E-W), defined by earthen bank (H 0.9m). Stone field fence overlies S of site, running in E-W direction. Possible hut site (diam. 5.7m) in N. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra.
