What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lackan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lackan, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits on the north face of a ridge running northwest to southeast on grassland, offering views to the northeast towards Lough Derravaragh. It consists of a circular area with an approximate diameter of 28 metres along the north-south axis, enclosed by a poorly preserved fragmentary earthen bank and a shallow round-bottomed fosse. A fragmentary outer bank surrounds this inner enclosure but has been levelled from southwest through west to north, leaving several modern gaps in the remaining structure.
