What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Barney, County Longford: a 40m earthen ring, partly swallowed by pasture and field boundaries. Its entrance has vanished under grass and change, but the circular ridge still holds its shape in low ground. People may have lived there, marked it, or feared it; the land kept the circle while memory thinned.

In low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 3.5-4m; H 0.2-0.4m) that has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from ESE-S-N. The original entrance is not recognisable. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted the presence of a wide, shallow, external fosse. The rath is densely overgrown with vegetation. Compiled by: Patrick F.
