What is recorded here

Breaghy is a lost moated site in County Longford. By 1986, two sides still stood as earthen banks, but ploughs and time have since erased the rest. What remains is a low rise in pasture, holding the shape of a fort no longer visible to the eye.

On a low rise in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure, aligned NE-SW, with the designation 'Fort'. A report in 1986 (SMR file) recorded that only the NE (L 28m) and SE (L 35m) sides survived, both defined by an earthen bank. Traces of a fosse were evident along the SE side. The SW and NW sides had been levelled. Further levelling has since occurred and the monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 February 2012
