What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Roos, County Longford: a 49.8m earthen ring on a NE-facing pasture slope, its low bank still marking an old boundary though field work has cut through part of it. The wide eastern gap may preserve the true entrance, while the dug interior suggests people kept using, changing or taking from the place long after it stopped being a fort.

On a NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 49.8m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6m; H 0.2-0.9m). There is no trace of a fosse. A wide modern entrance at ENE may mark the location of the original one. From SSW-W-N the circuit and morphology of the bank have been altered where it has been incorporated into a field boundary. Much of the interior has recently been dug up. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
