What is recorded here

In Ballymartin, County Mayo, earth and stone banks still outline irregular fields beside a ringfort. They mark a time when people cut the land into usable parts instead of leaving it as one open stretch. The shapes suggest cooperation, memory and repeated return. What is missing is the voice of the person who first walked the finished edge and named the difference between inside and outside.

In pasture, possibly associated with enclosure (MA118-107----). Banks of earth and stone, enclosing irregular shaped areas on E side of ringfort. The above description has been derived from D.
