What is recorded here
No fairy fort exists at that address. The facts describe an earthen ringfort in County Galway, not Longford.
On a SE-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved rath (63m N-S) defined by a bank of earth and stone
from NE through E to S. A field bank cuts across the monument from NE to S and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the W of it.
