What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Kilmaglish is a fairy fort or ringfort in Kilmaglish, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site is a levelled ringfort with no surface remains visible. It is depicted on the 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map as a circular enclosure intersected at the north by a townland boundary running roughly east to west. Neither the townland boundary nor the ringfort is depicted in this field on subsequent editions of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch maps, while the public road to the north marks the line of the townland boundary on the revised maps.
