What is recorded here

Indicated is a forgotten fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its shallow wall has surrendered to scrubland, leaving only a faint circular shadow beneath a modern fence. People may have lived there before the stones vanished, but the land has reclaimed the shape and erased the memory.

In undulating scrubland, surrounded by same. Circular area (48m N-S; 47m E-W), enclosed by poorly preserved wall (H 0.3m ; Wth 2m), overlain by modern field fence. Two modern gates on E. Site heavily overgrown. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra.
