What is recorded here
No. The supplied facts identify the site in County Galway, not Lisduff in Longford. They also say it was levelled, not that a fairy fort stands there.
On a hummock in grassland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 33m). On inspection in April 1984 no visible surface trace was visible. According to local information, it was known as a 'fort' and was levelled c. 1981 during land-improvement works. However, its outline it clearly visible on OSi aerial photographs (Google maps).
