What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Screeboge, County Longford, is a 32-metre earthen ring on a pasture slope, partly banked and partly cut by a natural scarp. Its shallow fosse and broken entrance suggest people shaped the land before memory faded. The missing outer bank may have been buried, removed or simply forgotten, leaving behind a circle large enough to hold lives but faint enough to dismiss.

On a NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed from SE-S-WSW by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.4m; H 0.2m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m) and elsewhere defined by a naturally occurring scarp. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an outer bank, which is no longer visible at ground level. A break (Wth 3m) in the bank at SSE may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F.
