What is recorded here

No visible fort remains in Ballyglassin, County Longford. A 1976 report described a 27m circular rath with an earth-and-stone bank at the north, a scarp at the northeast and east, and levelled ground to the south and west. The entrance was not recognisable, and the rath has since disappeared completely from the pasture slope.

On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone at N. At NE and E the defining element was a scarp and at S and W the enclosing element had been levelled. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath has since been completely levelled and it is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011
