Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined stone ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland, where a larger cashel forty metres east has been levelled into the earth. The remaining circular wall stands half a metre high around a raised pasture area, scarped on the west and quarried on the southeast. It is not a complete fortress but a broken measurement, marking the distance between what was built and what was erased.
In reclaimed pasture, on S-facing slope, part of complex (MA121-153----). Circular raised (H 1.5m) area (37m N-S; 39m E-W), enclosed by ruined stone wall (H 0.5m; Wth 2.5m) E to W. Site scarped on W and quarried on SE. A larger cashel (MA121-153002-) located c. 40m to E has been levelled. 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. 258.
