What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo where straight stone walls meet rounded ones, enclosing a rock outcrop now bisected by a field fence. The western edge sits in pasture while the eastern edge presses into karst, creating a place where ordinary land and hidden depth collide. A hut site waits twenty metres to the northeast, suggesting the fort still belongs to a living landscape rather than a dead one.

W side in pasture, E side in karst. 20m to NE is hut site (MA121-196----). Irregular shaped area (24m N-S; 37m E-W), enclosed by stone wall constructed of large boulders with infill (Wth 1.6m; H 0.6m). S and W sides are straight; N and E sides are rounded. Field fence bisects N of site. Rock outcrop in interior. The above description has been derived from D.
