What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Listraghee, County Longford: an oval earth-and-stone ring, 49m by 40.5m, set on a low rise in pasture. Its bank survives at the north and southeast, while a sharper scarp marks the rest; the entrance has vanished from sight. People may have lived inside, excluded others, or simply remembered the shape as belonging to fairies.

On a low rise in undulating pasture. A raised oval area (c. 49m NW-SE; c. 40.5m NE-SW) enclosed at N and from SE-SSE-S by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.8-5.5m; H 0.5-1.2m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2.15m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse, which is no longer visible. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
