What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagree is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnagree, County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated in undulating pasture, the roughly circular-shaped earthwork has a diameter of approximately 25 metres as depicted on the revised 1910 edition Ordnance Survey map. A 1973 account described the site as an area enclosed by a low scarp of earth and stone, noting a very slight trace of a wall or bank on top of the scarp in places. Large boulders and stones lie on the scarp from east-northeast through east to east-southeast, while the interior is densely overgrown with impenetrable vegetation.
