What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Paslicktown is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Paslicktown, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits on a low rise in relatively low-lying pasture, with higher ground overlooking it from the northwest, north, and east. A ringfort located approximately 160 meters to the east-northeast stands nearby, while the OS Fair Plan map depicts the site as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork annotated as Fort. A 1971 account described the monument as having no surface remains visible, and the outline of the levelled monument is not visible on Digital Globe aerial photography.
