What is recorded here
No fairy fort facts were provided for Ballymanagh. The request names Ballymanagh, Longford, but the supplied facts describe a different Galway ringfort. I will not invent the missing place or history.
On a hillock in marshy pastureland. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 35m) is defined by a curving scarp from NNE to ENE, faint traces of a bank from ENE to E and by a scapr from E to S. Slight traces of an external fosse survive at NE. A house has been built immediately outside the monument at SW.
