What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagree is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnagree, County Westmeath, Ireland. A 1973 account described the monument as a roughly circular area with a diameter of 27 metres, enclosed by a bank that is almost reduced to a scarp and features a possible entrance gap at the northeast. The interior has a slight north-facing slope, and a field boundary runs concentric with the bank just outside it from south-southeast through south to west to north to north-northeast, giving the impression of an outer bank. The revised 1910 edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map depicted the site as an oval-shaped earthwork.
