What is recorded here
Indicated is a substantial stone ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland, occupying a slight raised pasture area on an E-facing slope. Its rough circular boundary stretches 42 metres north-south and 39 metres east-west, enclosed by a wall two metres high and 1.8 metres wide that runs from the southeast to the north. Vegetations tops the ancient stones, while the uneven interior remains exposed beneath the open sky. The structure stands as a quiet witness to forgotten human activity, preserving the shape of a life long gone.
In pasture, on slight raised area, on E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (42m N-S; 39m E-W), enclosed by substantial stone wall (H 2m; Wth 1.8m) SE to N, topped with vegetation. Interior uneven.
