What is recorded here

Indicated is a small D-shaped stone enclosure in rough pasture at the base of a steep slope overlooking Lough Mask in County Mayo. It appeared on both the 1838 and 1920 maps, suggesting it was still recognizable decades after nearby life changed. The wall is low and broken enough that cattle may have used it, yet its shape and position keep it separate from ordinary farm boundaries. It is the kind of place where human intent survives without explanation, marking a lost settlement through a few careful stones.

In rough, bracken-covered pasture, located at the base of a steep N-facing slope overlooking Lough Mask. Indicated on the 1838 and the 1920 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This enclosure consists of a D-shaped area (int. 13m E-W; 8m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.4m; H 0.6-1.1m). A field inspection determined that it is most likely to be an enclosure for farm stock associated with a 19th-century settlement. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 July 2015
