Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished fairy fort in County Longford, last drawn as a tree-lined circle on an 1837 map before pasture and time erased its ridge. It may have been a childhood playground, a boundary marker, or a forgotten home, but the land has taken back its shape. What remains is a name pointing at nothing, inviting imagination to fill the hole where the fort stood.
In pasture. Depicted as a tree-lined circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 10 January 2012
