What is recorded here
Ballycloghan is a lost ringfort in County Longford. It stood as a circular earth bank about thirty metres wide in low pasture, but ploughing and development removed most of its shape. A small rise still marks the place where the fort existed.
In low-lying, reclaimed pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath has since been levelled but its location is marked by a low rise (H 0.3m).
