What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in low-lying Mayo pasture, holding three earthen banks and two deep fosses around a forty-five-metre interior. It is not a tidy ruined castle but a overgrown earth-work, with gaps in its banks and a man-made passage beneath the grass. The land has hidden much of it, yet the shape remains large enough to walk and strange enough to remember.

In low-lying level pasture, with ringforts (MA121-157----), (MA121-158----) to NE. Circular area (diam. c. 45m), enclosed by three substantial earthen banks (Bank H; inner 1.1m; middle 1.5m; outer 1m), with two deep intervening fosses. Numerous gaps in banks. Man-made underground passage (MA121-156002-) in interior. Site heavily overgrown. Overall dimensions 83m N-S; 72m E-W. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 194.
