What is recorded here
No fairy fort in Addergoole, Longford. The facts describe a Galway ringfort: a 39m earthen circle with two banks and a partly surviving ditch in low grassland. That is all the data supports.
In low-lying grassland. Subcircular rath (39m N-S; 37m E-W), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse; the latter survives from NNE to SSE, and from SW to NNW. The outer bank is extant only from SW to NNW.
