What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagree is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnagree, County Westmeath, Ireland. A 1973 description records it as a roughly circular-shaped area with a 34-metre diameter, enclosed by a scarp of earth and stone topped with a low drystone wall and an entrance gap at the east. The interior rises from the perimeter towards the centre, and a drystone field wall lies outside the scarp from south-southeast through west to north-northeast. The monument is annotated as Raghmore on the 1837 OS Fair Plan and depicted as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork on the revised 1910 edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map.

Situated on a hill, in pasture, with wide views of the surrounding landscape. Annotated 'Raghmore' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Ringfort described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 34m) enclosed by a scarp of earth and stone with a low drystone wall on top, with entrance gap at E. There is a drystone field wall outside the scarp from SSE-W-N-NNE. The interior rises from the perimeter towards the centre and the surface is uneven. A number of loose stones and small boulders are scattered across the surface. The whole monument is quite densely overgrown, making inspection difficult. Monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped tree-covered area on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
