What is recorded here

Indicated was a twenty-five-metre fairy fort in County Mayo pasture, holding a man-made cave in its western half before reclamation tools erased it in 1990. The 1837 map drew its complete circle while the 1929 version reduced the ancient boundary to a faint curving arc. Humans may have forgotten the shape long before the machines arrived, but the land kept the cave hidden beneath ordinary grass until the final destruction.

In pasture. Shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), with a Man-made underground passage (SL120-054002-) marked as 'Cave' in the W half of the interior. It is shown on the 1929 edition of the map only as an arc of hachuring curving W-N. It was levelled during reclamation in 1990 (Lavelle 1994).
