What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Streamstown (moycashel By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Streamstown (moycashel By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. This earthwork sits on a slight rise in pasture and appears on the 1837 edition OS Fair Plan map as a roughly circular shape. The revised 1910 edition OS 25-inch map depicts the site as a circular earthwork measuring approximately 46 metres east-west and 42 metres north-south. A 1973 survey recorded the monument as levelled with no surface remains visible, while it may now appear as a circular cropmark in aerial photography east of a linear gravel ridge.
