Attymass ( Irish: Áth Tí an Mheasaigh) [1] is a village and civil parish in County Mayo, Ireland.
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringforts (in the townlands of Carrick and Kilgellia) and several crannóg sites at nearby Ballymore Lough. [2]
The Roman Catholic church in the village was built in 1958 on the site of an earlier 19th century chapel. [3]
