What is recorded here
Fairy fort / ringfort in Money is a fairy fort or ringfort in Money, County Westmeath, Ireland. It sits on a prominent hillock with excellent views to the west, north, and northeast, while Tully Hill overlooks the site to the south and Mullaghmeen and Lough Sheelin are visible to the east and north respectively. No surface remains are visible of the levelled ringfort, which is depicted on all editions of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork approximately 36 metres in diameter north-south and 29 metres east-west. A modern earthen mound in the northwest corner of the field may have been constructed with material from the levelled ringfort, and another ringfort is located 140 metres to the northeast.
