What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Kilmaglish is a fairy fort or ringfort in Kilmaglish, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits on a south-facing slope of rising ground that overlooks the River Gaine, which lies one hundred and sixty metres to the southwest. A ringfort is located two hundred and forty metres to the south-southeast. The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map depicts the site as a circular shaped earthwork, a feature that is not depicted on subsequent editions of the Ordnance Survey maps, though the outline of the monument is visible on a Digital Globe aerial photograph taken in November 2011.
