What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tonashammer is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tonashammer, County Westmeath, Ireland. The 2017 survey describes the site as a circular area with a north-south diameter of approximately 22 metres, enclosed by a poorly preserved low earth and stone bank that has been levelled from northeast through east to south. Slight traces of an external fosse are noted, and the account records that no entrance feature was visible, while several disturbance gaps of modern appearance appear in the enclosing bank.
