What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clogh (rathcline By.) is a circular rath in County Longford, Ireland. It still stands as a low earth and stone bank around a raised grassy disc, though vegetation has buried the outer features once seen. The place belongs to the old human habit of marking ownership, defence and memory through shape rather than written claim.

In low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; H 0.4m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.1-0.15m). The bank barely rises above the interior for most of its circuit. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an outer bank and noted that the original entrance was at SE. These features are no longer identifiable. The rath is densely overgrown with vegetation. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
