What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Williamstown (clonlonan By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Williamstown (clonlonan By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1973 record describes the monument as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by a low earth and stone bank situated on a rise in low-lying rough wet pasture. That same account noted that the interior could not be examined because a large quantity of earth, stones, trees and roots from adjoining fields had been dumped inside. The revised 1910 edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map depicts the site as an oval-shaped earthwork.
