What is recorded here
The fairy fort or ringfort in Archerstown is in County Westmeath, Ireland. It sits on top of a small natural ridge in undulating grassland, where no surface remains are visible of the levelled monument. The 1837 OS Fair Plan map depicts it as a small oval shaped enclosure annotated as Fort, while the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map shows a circular tree-lined enclosure that is not indicated on subsequent editions.
