What is recorded here

Partially hachured is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Shrubbywood, County Westmeath, Ireland. It occupies low-lying ground sixty metres east of the River Inny, with bog land approximately five hundred metres away on all sides. The circular site, measuring thirty-three metres on a north-northeast to south-southwest axis, is enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank that is best preserved at the south and north-northwest. Slight traces of an external fosse appear at the south, while a post-1700 field bank and drain running north-south bisect the slightly raised interior.
