What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Culleen More is in County Westmeath, Ireland. It stands on a west-southwest-facing slope of rising ground on the shore of Lough Owel, offering good views from the southwest to the northwest. The 1837 OS Fair Plan map depicts the site as an oval-shaped enclosure annotated as a fort. A north-south running railway line cuts through the monument, leaving only the east side to survive as a semi-circular area roughly fifty metres in diameter, enclosed by an arc of earthen bank curving from north through east to southeast.
