Earthwork, Ballynacarragh, Co. Mayo
Co. Mayo |
Ritual/Ceremonial
In the townland of Ballynacarragh in County Mayo, an earthwork sits in the landscape, noted and catalogued but not yet fully explained.
Earthworks of this kind are among the quieter presences in the Irish countryside, easy to walk past without recognition. They might be the remains of a ringfort, a enclosure for livestock or habitation dating to the early medieval period, or something older still, a burial mound or boundary marker whose original purpose has long since blurred into the terrain around it. Without further detail, the feature holds its shape but not yet its story.
