Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clonlonan

Situated in rough pasture, which is overlooked by higher ground. Monument described in 1977 as a roughly circular-shaped raised area (diam. 34m) defined by a scarp and external fosse. The scarp is very gradual in slope and is best preserved at SE, however is poorly defined from SSE-S-SSW. The external fosse is best preserved from NNE-NE-ENE. The interior is fairly level and has no obvious features. A field fence runs WNW-ESE across the S quadrant. Partial outline of levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
