What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Culloge, County Longford: a 31.8 m circular earthwork on a pasture hillock, with a low stone-and-earth bank, shallow outer ditch, and a possible entrance break at the east-north-east. The shape is small enough to walk around quickly, yet old enough to belong before written memory. Cattle may have grazed beside it for generations while people called it a fairy fort, giving the dead or forgotten a name that still works.

On a hillock in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 31.8m) enclosed by a partially denuded low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.5m; H 0.9m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.7m; D 0.2m). From NNE-E-ESE the fosse has been modified where it is bordered by a modern NW-SE field bank and drain. A break (Wth 2.9m) in the bank at ENE with traces of a possible accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
