What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sleehaun, Longford: a raised subcircular area, about 26m by 23m, enclosed by a low earth-and-stone bank and an external fosse, standing in wet low pasture. A field boundary has been built across part of the fosse, and the original entrance has become unrecognisable. The place still reads as a made boundary in the landscape: a small defended or claimed area, now half-swallowed by grass, water and forgetting.

In wet, low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this raised subcircular area (c. 26m N-S; c. 23m E-W) was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-1.2m). From NNE-E-SE, a NW-SE field boundary has been built on the line of the fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
