What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carn (rathconrath By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carn (rathconrath By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated on top of a rocky scrub-covered knoll in undulating rough pasture, it offers excellent views of the surrounding landscape. A 1970s account described the monument as an oval-shaped area enclosed by a low stone bank that had been cut away on the exterior in places. There is no visible trace of an external fosse or an original entrance feature, while the interior remains uneven due to rock outcrop, and a house site is located in the southeast quadrant.
