Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Garrysallagh is a fairy fort or ringfort in Garrysallagh, County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map depicts the site as a semi-circular shaped enclosure intersected at the northeast by a roadway running north-northwest to south-southeast, though it is not depicted on subsequent editions of those maps. A cropmark of a circular shaped enclosure is barely visible on a Digital Globe aerial photograph taken in November 2011, while the source account records that no surface remains are visible of the levelled monument.
