Earthwork, Cloonmore, Co. Mayo

In the townland of Cloonmore in County Mayo, an earthwork sits in the landscape, recorded as a monument but largely unexamined in the public record.

Earthworks of this kind are among the most ambiguous features of the Irish countryside: they may represent the remains of a ringfort, a enclosure, a field boundary, or something older and harder to classify. Without more detail, the feature at Cloonmore belongs to that quietly numerous category of places that are known to exist, are considered significant enough to protect, and yet remain genuinely under-described.
