What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Camlisk More, County Longford: an oval earth-and-stone ring, 58.7m by 38.2m, with a waterlogged fosse, now grazed and partly levelled in low pasture. Cattle have rubbed the bank thin and filled the ditch, and the entrance has vanished under grass and traffic of hooves. What remains is a shallow breath of the old shape, still visible when the land is wet and quiet.
In low-lying pasture. A raised oval area (58.7m NE-SW; 38.2m NW-SE) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.1m; H 0.6m max.) with a wide, deep, waterlogged external fosse (Wth 5.2m; D 0.5m). From NW-N-ESE the enclosing elements have been levelled. Elsewhere the bank is denuded almost to ground level and the fosse is largely infilled due to cattle-trampling. The original entrance is not recognisable.
