What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined ringfort on a Longford pasture slope, its thirty-two-metre circle reduced to a low bank and a drainage cut. Trees have broken through the earth, turning a defensive home into a ordinary field feature. The entrance has vanished, but the shape remains, marking the place where human hands first bent the land to their will.

On a SE-facing slope in pasture. An undated report (SMR file) recorded a circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (H 0.5-0.75m), best preserved at W, with a shallow external fosse that had been deepened at W to form part of a field drain. The original entrance was not recognisable. The report suggested that the monument may have been a ringfort that was reused as a landscape feature as numerous tree stumps protruded from the bank and the interior. Not visible at ground level.
