What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenidan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glenidan, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits in pasture-land on the summit of a narrow steep ridge, overlooked by higher hills to the north and east. It comprises a raised oval-shaped area measuring 23.4 metres east-west and 19.6 metres north-south, enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and an external fosse. These enclosing features are visible only from the north-east through east and from the south through south-west, while the interior remains level.
