What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Derrynagarragh is a fairy fort or ringfort in Derrynagarragh, County Westmeath, Ireland. It sits on a hill with wide views of the surrounding countryside, where an earthwork lies one hundred and ninety metres to the south. The 1911 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map depicts the site as a circular area approximately thirty-nine metres in diameter from east to west, and a 1967 field report describes it as having a bank and external fosse. Although no surface remains of the levelled ringfort are visible at ground level, a cropmark of the monument is clearly visible on a Digital Globe aerial photograph taken in November 2011.
