What is recorded here

Rathmore in County Longford holds a circular enclosure beside a ringfort, visible only when dry soil shadows the growing crop. The enclosure faces southeast, as if inviting entry rather than blocking it. Perhaps people walked that opening toward the fort during feast or flight, while the circle waited beneath the fields like a forgotten room.
An aerial photograph (ASIAP 220: 9) taken in 2001 shows cropmark evidence for a circular enclosure with an opening at the SSE. It lies to the NW of a ringfort (LF027-015----). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 17 January 2012

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
