What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is a raised circular area enclosed by an earthen bank, external fosse and outer bank, with a 2.7m entrance in the NE and four stone field fences radiating from it. The name itself is the exception: instead of hiding behind a generic number, the place is still called Indicated, as if somebody had drawn a line through the grass and refused to look away.
In pasture, at N end of ridge, 300m W [recte c. 190m SW] of ringfort (MA100-042----). Raised, circular area (47m N-S; 45m E-W), enclosed by heavily overgrown earthen bank (H 0.6m), external fosse (D 1.4m) and outer bank (H 1.1m), levelled NE to S. Fosse on SW. Entrance (Wth 2.7m) in NE. Four stone field fences radiate from site. 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. 116.
