What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Gaybrook Demesne is a fairy fort or ringfort in Gaybrook Demesne, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture with good views to the southeast and west. The 1837 OS Fair Plan map depicts an oval-shaped earthwork defined by a scarp and annotated “fort,” while the 1876 edition OS 6-inch map shows an oval-shaped earthwork enclosed by a bank. A 1971 account described the levelled monument as having no surface remains visible, and the site is considered suitable for a ringfort.
