What is recorded here

Inside the earthen ring at Skehanagh Fort, a low oblong heap of stones waits in the grass. Tradition claims the enclosure marked a cillin, an unconsecrated resting place for children excluded from ordinary graveyards. The western bank still stands broad and firm, while cultivation ridges now cross the interior where lives once turned.
Skehanagh Fort is recorded as a archaeological place in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
