What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, holding a low stone wall and exposed rock within rough pasture. It sits beside a human ringfort, suggesting two kinds of residence sharing one slope. The distinction between recorded fact and local belief collapses when both circles still stand.

In rough undulating pasture, on SE-facing slope, 340m W [recte 290m NW] of ringfort (MA121-055----). Circular area (37m N-S; 36.5m E-W), enclosed by low stone wall (Wth 1.8m; H 1m), levelled on NE. Interior displays some rock outcrop. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra.
