What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, holding a circular earth bank twenty metres wide beside an ordinary ringfort. The gaps in its ridge invite imagination rather than certainty, leaving the fort open to memory and myth. It is the kind of place where human life may have vanished but shape and presence remain, waiting for someone to notice what the land still remembers.

In level pasture, 200m N of ringfort (MA100-097----). Roughly circular raised area (35m N-S; 39m E-W), enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m), with slight traces of external fosse. Gaps in NW, SW and E.
