The one at Curry, in County Mayo, is the less immediately obvious of the pair, a circular enclosure roughly thirty-six metres across, defined by an earthen bank that still rises to about 1.6 metres in places, though the northeastern to southern arc has been levelled over time, softened back into the surrounding pasture on its gently east-facing slope.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths when they are earthen rather than stone-built, were the standard farmstead of early medieval Ireland, typically dating from somewhere between the fifth and twelfth centuries. A bank and ditch enclosed a family's dwelling, outbuildings, and sometimes livestock, offering a degree of security and, perhaps equally important, a visible statement of status in the landscape. What makes the Curry example quietly interesting is its proximity to a second ringfort just to the southwest. Two such enclosures so close together may indicate related settlements, possibly occupied by the same extended family group at different periods, or by contemporaneous households with some social or kinship connection. The slight regularisation of the site's dimensions, nearly circular at 36 metres north to south and 36.5 metres east to west, suggests a deliberately constructed enclosure rather than a natural feature, even if the bank's partial levelling now makes it easy to walk past without fully registering what you are looking at.
