What is recorded here

Partially hachured is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Calverstown, County Westmeath, Ireland. This circular area measures 48.5 metres from north to south and 48.3 metres from east to west, defined by a low earth and stone bank that is mainly reduced to a scarp. Traces of a shallow external fosse are mostly filled in, while a large portion of the enclosing element has been levelled on the east side where a modern field boundary runs from north to south. Gaps at the south-southwest and west may be the original entrance feature, and a possible standing stone is located in the southwest quadrant.
