What is recorded here
No fairy fort in Ballydonagh, Longford. The facts point to County Galway. A clear answer needs the right place and its own facts.
On a slight rise in grassland, immediately S of a rath (GA099-022----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS map as a pair of conjoined enclosures, see also GA099-022001-. This S example was subcircular (c. 50m N-S) in plan. It consists of a bivallate rath defined by two poorly preserved banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. A field boundary overlies most of the outer bank.
