What is recorded here

Indicated is a small oval drystone enclosure on a prominent Mayo hill, likely belonging to a ruined eighteenth-century farmstead rather than standing alone. It sits in good pasture with panoramic views, marked by a narrow wall, a southern entrance break, and a possible western drain. The site appeared on later maps but resisted earlier survey, suggesting human hands shaped the hill long before official notice arrived.

In good pasture, situated on top of a prominent hill affording panoramic views in all directions. Not listed in the SMR (1991) or in the RMP (1995). Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but indicted on the 1921 edition. Oval area (9m N-S; 6.9m E-W) enclosed by a narrow wall (Wth 0.8m; max. H 0.85m) of drystone masonry. There is an opening at the base of the wall at WNW, possibly a drain. A break (Wth 0.9m) in the wall at S represents the original entrance. Inspected in 1995, this enclosure appears to be associated with a ruined farmstead, probably no earlier in date than the 18th century. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 January 2015
