What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisgurry is a circular earthen enclosure in County Longford, Ireland. People may have lived inside the bank or kept animals within it before the field boundary changed its edge. The forgotten entrance and removed ditch suggest the site gave up its human shape gradually rather than all at once.

On a gentle NW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 25.3m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.7m; H 0.3-0.7m). The outer face of the bank has been steepened and incorporated into a field boundary from N-E-S. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
