What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It occupies a small spur projecting northwest from a north-south pasture ridge. The oval area measures thirty-eight metres north-south and twenty-eight metres east-west. An overgrown stony bank defines the boundary. The bank averages three and a half metres wide. Its internal height ranges from zero point three five to one metre. Its external height ranges from one point one to one point seven metres. Some facing stones remain visible at the north and east. A wide five-metre gap opens at the south. Outside, about four and a half metres to the southwest, a short arc of stony bank may be the remains of a second outer enclosing bank. The mostly level interior contains an irregularly shaped area of raised ground in the south-south-east sector. That raised area measures ten metres long, six metres wide and rises up to zero point five metres. It may result from ground disturbance. A later field boundary runs east-west immediately south of the monument.

H 1.1-1.7m) with some facing stones visible at N (int. H 0.6m) and E (ext. H 0.8m). There is a wide gap (Wth 5m) at S. Outside, c. 4.5m to the SW, a short arc of stony bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.2m) may be the remains of a second, outer enclosing bank. The mostly level interior contains an irregularly shaped area of raised ground (L 10m N-S; Wth 6m; max. H 0.5m) in the SSE sector, which may be the result of ground disturbance. A later field boundary runs E-W immediately S of the monument.
