Are these phrases still being used?

Long since forgotten.
I had written this in a sentence for a narrative recently, and my English teacher said to check it online.
The sentence is : With this is remembered an incident I long since forgotten.

Is its application correct?
And is the sentence grammatically correct aswell.

The phrase "long since forgotten" is a correct and currently used expression, but you have used it incorrectly. You put the subject "I" before it, but you have no tense in a verb phrase. "Forgotten" needs an auxiliary verb.
