What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gillardstown is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Gillardstown, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits on a natural ridge in pasture-land with good views of the surrounding countryside, where a ringfort lies fifty meters to the northwest. A sub-circular raised area measuring thirty-five meters north-south and thirty-eight meters east-west is enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank that is almost completely levelled at the west. The interior rises towards the centre with slight traces of cultivation ridges, and a field boundary intersects the monument at the east.
