What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Littletown is in County Westmeath, Ireland. It occupies a slight natural rise in gently undulating grassland on the demesne lands of Littletown House, which stands 120 metres to the south. The remains consist of a slightly raised circular area with a north-northeast to south-southwest diameter of approximately 24 metres, enclosed by a low, poorly preserved earthen bank and a very slight narrow fosse. The interior is level, and the structure appears to have been used as a tree-ring in the past, possibly representing post-1700 landscaping rather than a typical ringfort.
