Possibly to the N of the Camlin River. Longford is an anglicization of the Irish word longphort or 'fortress' (Joyce 1990, 67). The OS Letters note that the site of O’Farrell’s Longphort or fortified residence at Longford town (LF013-026----) was occupied by the army barracks (OSL 1837, 68). Nothing is known of the nature of this fortification; it may have been replaced by the castle (LF013-026003-) (Bradley et al. 1985, 36-7).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
