What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost circular enclosure on an east-facing ridge in County Mayo, visible only on an 1838 map and now hidden beneath pasture. It may have been a ringfort, a place where people lived, argued, loved and forgot the shape of their own walls. The land keeps its margin beside marsh and sky, waiting for someone to remember what it held.

On E-facing slope of ridge, in pasture, with marsh to E. Shown on OS map (1838) as circular enclosure. Levelled; no visible surface traces. Possibly a ringfort.
