What is recorded here

Situated in level pasture in the demense lands of Longford House (SL019-092001-). Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. O'Rorke (1890, 116-8) recorded that Longford was one of the chief seats of the O'Dowd's and that the Genealogical Ms. of Duald MacFirbis chronicled that the English erected 'all the bawn of Longford, except Leaba an eich bhuidhe' i.e. the bed of the yellow steed. No upstanding remains of the bawn were identified. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
