Ringfort

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Half a metre below the grass at Island, a stone-lined hole waits in darkness. Built perhaps for grain, perhaps for refuge during storm or raid, it has sat untouched while the lake beside the ringfort was drained and forgotten. The hawthorn still marks the edge of that older world, holding the shape of a home no longer spoken of.
Ringfort is recorded as a archaeological place in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
