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.

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.
