What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybeg (clonlonan By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballybeg (clonlonan By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated in undulating pasture, the site was depicted on the 1837 edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork north of a small settlement and a limekiln. A later 1910 edition Ordnance Survey 25-inch map shows it as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork approximately 25 metres to the northwest of the Athlone to Mullingar railway line. The levelled monument is visible on current Ordnance Survey Ireland aerial photography as a faint light-green coloured rectilinear-shaped cropmark.
