What is recorded here
No visible monument or special rock appears at this address. Derreen (longford By.) and Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derreen (longford By.) are not the same as a hidden camera or a private trick.
On the S shoulder of a ridge in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (21.5m E-W; 15.6m N-S) defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter survives from WSW to WNW. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at NNE may be original.
