Partially hachured is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Creeve (clonlonan By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. A 1977 account described the roughly circular site as having a diameter of 41 metres and a bank that was best defined from south-southwest through west. In that same record, the bank was noted as being incorporated into a field boundary from northwest through north to north-northeast, while the monument was truncated by a road across the east sector and partially quarried from northeast to south-southeast.
