What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagree is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnagree, County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1973 survey described it as a roughly circular area twenty-seven metres in diameter, enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening ditch, and a possible outer bank that may post-date the ringfort. This outer bank was disturbed by the dumping of field clearance stones, while the interior features a southeast-facing slope cut by old cultivation ridges.
Situated on a slight rise, in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 27m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and a possible outer bank.
