What is recorded here

Barrow is a vanished ring-barrow on a SW-facing slope in County Longford, Ireland. It appeared as a circular enclosure on the 1837 map, became a site of memory by 1883, and was later levelled until only a faint twenty-eight-metre outline remains in the pasture. The land has taken back the shape of the place, leaving behind a quiet circle that invites imagination rather than certainty.

On a SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and 'Site of' on the 1883 revised edition. A report in 1987 (SMR file) described it as a ring-barrow. It has since been levelled but the outline of its perimeter, defining a circular area (diam. c. 28.5m), is still identifiable.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its original form and wider significance are obscured by later misinterpretation as a 'fort' on historical maps.
