What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Parkplace, County Longford: circular cropmark about 38m across, enclosed by an earthen bank, still visible from above. East of it, faint lines suggest a pre-1700 field system, and a small circular mark may be the remains of an O.S. Trig Station. The fort stands out because the land still holds its shape, while the fields and survey point around it have faded into suggestion.
Cropmark of circular shaped area (approx. diam. 38m) enclosed by an earthen bank is clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. Linear features or cropmarks in area to E of monument may be the remains of a pre-1700 field system. Small circular cropmark immediately E appears to be remains of O.S. Trig Station depicted on the OS 6-inch map.
