What is recorded here

Enclosure in Rockingham Demesne (boyle By., Rockingham.ed) is an enclosure in Rockingham Demesne (boyle By., Rockingham.ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. A poem addressed to Tomaltach-an-einig describes a multitude climbing a hill beside the castle to a place of assembly, probably Longford Hill. J. O'Donovan recorded in the 1830s that the AFM call a division of Rockingham Demesne Longfort Mac Diarmada.

In a poem addressed to Tomaltach-an-einig (KM 1421-58) the poet speaks of a multitude of people climbing a hill beside the castle to a place of assembly (Mac Dermot 1996, 103). This is probably Longford Hill overlooking (RO006-202----). J. O'Donovan in the 1830s (O'Flannagan vol. 1, 117-8), describing a division of Rockingham Demesne, says that the AFM call it Longfort Mac Diarmada. He does not give the reference, and I could not find it in AFM. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
