What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Adamstown (moycashel By.) is a fairy fort or ringfort in Adamstown (moycashel By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated on a low rise in wet and marshy pasture with a stream valley to the south, the site features a raised roughly oval-shaped mound obscured by dense overgrowth in places. Large boulders and traces of rock outcrop surround the top and sides of the mound, while remnants of an enclosure may represent a ringfort levelled in antiquity. The northeast side of the mound has been scarped with a segment of a visible fosse at its base, and a man-made underground passage lies on the south side.
