What is recorded here

Indicated occupies undulating pasture in County Mayo, Ireland, where a vanished circular bank once enclosed forty-five metres of lived space. The 1838 survey captured the shape before grass and forgetting erased the edge. A ringfort may have stood there, holding people, fire and argument against the open sky. Nothing visible remains, yet the measured circle resists disappearance and invites imagination to complete what erosion removed.

In undulating pasture. Shown as circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by bank on OS map (1838), no visible surface traces. Possibly a 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. 318.
