What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Rathnamuddagh is a fairy fort or ringfort in Rathnamuddagh, County Westmeath, Ireland. The site sits in relatively low-lying pasture overlooked by higher gently undulating pasture that restricts the surrounding views, with a stream lying approximately 18 metres to the west. A rectilinear-shaped earthwork lies approximately 200 metres to the southeast, and the monument was depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a subrectangular-shaped earthwork with rounded corners, annotated ‘Fort’. In 1971, the monument was described as having no surface remains visible, while a slight oval-shaped rise running east-southeast to west-northwest marks the site of this ringfort.
