What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballynahown is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballynahown, County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1837 OS Fair Plan map annotated the site as Fort and depicted it as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure situated on a rise in pasture with good views to the south. The revised 1910 edition of the OS 25-inch map did not depict the monument, and a 1973 survey described the levelled monument as having no surface remains visible.
