What is recorded here
Indicated is an arc-shaped earthen platform in County Mayo, measuring 26 metres north-south and 33 metres east-west. A stone field fence cuts across its west side, while a low scarp defines the levelled northern edge. The site sits on an east-facing pasture slope, possibly marking a forgotten ringfort where people once lived beneath the open sky.
In pasture, on E-facing slope. Arc-shaped platform (26m N-S; 33m E-W), levelled on N, defined by low scarp. Stone field fence bisects W side of site. Bank levelled. Possibly a ringfort.
