What is recorded here

Partially hachured is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corbally (fartullagh By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1837 edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map depicted the site as a large oval-shaped earthwork measuring approximately 50 metres by 39 metres, with a house site in the southwest quadrant. A revised 1913 edition Ordnance Survey 25-inch map showed the area as a penannular shape open to the southeast, while possible house sites remained visible in the southwest quadrant. The monument appears as a clear penannular-shaped cropmark on Ordnance Survey Ireland aerial photography, though only the faintest cropmark of this levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
