What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Correagh (moycashel By.) is in County Westmeath, Ireland. This roughly circular area, measured at 45 metres north to south, was described in 1973 as enclosed by a low earth and stone bank with traces of a shallow external fosse and no indication of an entrance. A large rock protrudes from the even surface in the north quadrant, and the site is situated on gently rising ground that offers good views of the surrounding landscape. It appears as an oval-shaped tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography, while a separate ringfort lies approximately 120 metres to the southwest.
