What is recorded here

Indictated is a double-banked fairy fort on a steep Mayo slope, its thirty-one-metre circle marked by stone scars and livestock gaps rather than proud walls. The western entrance stands overgrown and wide, inviting entry into a hidden passage that may still breathe beneath the northern soil. Cattle have worn the earth for centuries, yet the fort keeps its shape, suggesting human hands or something older refused to release the hill.

In pasture at the top of a moderately steep S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (int. diam. 31m) is defined by an inner and an outer bank with an intervening fosse. The inner bank of earth and stone (int. H 0.1m-0.7m; Wth 7-8m; ext. H 1.8–2.8m) has been reduce to a scarp (H 2m) along the E and has an overgrown gap (Wth 3m) at W, a narrower livestock gap at NNE, and its outer face is denuded along the NNW. The fosse is flat-bottomed (Wth 2m at WNW - 6m at N) but poorly preserved along the S. The second, outer bank of earth and stone is best preserved from WNW-N–E (int. H over base of fosse 0.5-1m; Wth 4–6.5m; ext. H 1m), contains a livestock gap at NNE and has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) along the SE and SW. The interior is heavily overgrown in the NE sector and contains a possible Man-made underground passage (MA070-118001-) in the NW sector where the ground is generally level. Elsewhere the internal ground slopes down slightly towards the SE. Date of visit: 09-05-2025 Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy
