What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Chanonstown is a fairy fort or ringfort in Chanonstown, County Westmeath, Ireland. The revised 1913 edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map depicted the site as an oval-shaped earthwork with dimensions of 36 metres on a north-northwest to south-southeast axis and 31 metres on a northeast to southwest axis. The monument is situated in gently undulating pasture, and the 2005 account from the ASI recorded that it had been levelled but not visited. A partial cropmark running from west through north to east and south is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography, where it is transected by a linear field boundary running north-northwest to south-southeast across the southwest sector.
