What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonahard is a rath in County Longford, Ireland. It is a raised circular area, nineteen metres across, with banks and ditches made of earth and stone. The entrance faces east-northeast, marked by a gap and a causeway. Cattle graze around it now, unaware they walk beside a house built for people long gone.

In level pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 19.1m) enclosed by an inner wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; H 0.2-0.7m), an inner fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 1.2m), a wide, low middle bank (Wth 5.9m; H 1.4m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.8m), with a low outer bank (Wth 3.7m; H 0.25m). The outer bank is identifiable only from NW–NNW–N and from E–ESE–SE. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the banks at ENE with an accompanying causeway marks the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F.
