What is recorded here

Indicated is a low oval ringfort on a gentle N-facing slope in County Longford, marked as a fort on the 1837 map. Its earth and stone bank is only 0.1 to 0.2m high, yet it still draws the eye across the pasture like a forgotten breath held in the ground. The entrance has vanished, and the outer features recorded in 1976 have surrendered to grass and time. What remains is a shape large enough to walk inside and small enough to disappear when not watched.

On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised oval area (c. 38m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.1-0.2m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an intervening fosse and an outer bank, neither of which is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
