What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Creggan Lower is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Creggan Lower, County Westmeath, Ireland. The revised 1910 edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map depicts the site on a rise in pasture on the east edge of Athlone town as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork with approximate dimensions of 45 metres east to west and 40 metres north to south. A 1973 account described the levelled monument as having no surface remains visible, while Digital Globe aerial photography shows it as a cropmark defined by two concentric rings of differential growth visible from northwest through north to east through south to south-southwest.
