It stands in a commanding place overlooking the eastern plains extending to County Westmeath. DescriptionThe ringfort is a large bivallate enclosure with double bank and ditch. A spring lies immediately to the east. HistoryThere are seven ringforts surrounding Aughnacliffe, of which Sonnagh is the best preserved; they are better thought of as protected homesteads rather than military structures.[3] While house type varied, most were made of wood and were usually of post and wattle construction. The walls of the houses consisted of a double row of wattle spaced about 20cm apart with a cavity filled with straw and bracken for insulation. The roof was thatched with straw and held up with wooden posts.[4] The fort's walls gives their name to the townland: sonnach is Irish for "palisade."[5] References1. ^http://www.longfordlibrary.ie/uploadedFiles/longfordlibrary/Heritage/Projects/Longford%20RMP%20Accessibility%20Audit%202009-2010.pdf{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://wishiwasinireland.blogspot.com/2014/09/sonnagh-ring-fort-co.html|title=Wish I Was In Ireland|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dochara.com/places-to-visit/irish-towns/longford-co-longford/|title=Longford, Co Longford|date=3 September 2008|publisher=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://archive-ie.com/ie/l/longfordtourism.ie/2012-07-21_181542_26/Ardagh_County_Longford_Tourism_Website/|title=archive-ie.com: longfordtourism.ie - Ardagh - County Longford Tourism Website|publisher=}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.teanglann.ie/en/fgb/sonnach|title=Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla (Ó Dónaill): sonnach|publisher=}} 2 : Archaeological sites in County Longford|National Monuments in County Longford |
