What is recorded here

Caher is a rectangular fairy fort in County Mayo, its collapsed stone wall now swallowed by scrub and karst. The gap in the northeast invites entry, while the southwest wall has become a ordinary field fence, erasing the boundary between human ownership and older claim. Perhaps the stones did not fall but withdrew, waiting for the fence to be forgotten before the fort reappears.

In karst and scrub, 100m E of cashel (MA120-019----). Rectangular area (36m N-S; 42m E-W), enclosed by heavily overgrown, partly collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.5m; H 2.2m) on low earthen bank containing collapse (Wth 2.5m; H 1m). Gap in NE. Walling on SW and NW forms part of surrounding field fence system. Field fence bisects the site's interior and cashel wall on NNW and S points. NE of interior is very overgrown and contains clearance and rock outcrop. The above description has been derived from D.
