Description
Situated on a low rise, in tillage, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a large oval-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 62m E-W; 42m N-S). Annotated ‘Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Monument described in 1966 as an oval-shaped platform (H 4-5ft /1.2-1.5m) defined by a scarp with no external fosse and a causewayed entrance at E (OPW Field Report 22/09/1969). Levelled monument described in 1970 as no surface remains visible. Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.

- WM021-001 Designed landscape - tree-ring
Description
Situated on a low rise, in generally level pasture, with excellent views to NW and SE. Depicted as a circular-shaped earthwork on the Longford Estate Map of 1767 and Larkin’s 1808 Map of Co. Westmeath. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped tree-ring. Monument described in 1980 as a natural rise or ridge which was planted with trees in antiquity. There is a large shallow depression in the N side of the ridge where quarrying activities took place in the past. A slight mound on the top of the ridge at the S end of the depression is probably due to up-cast from the quarrying. The area of the depression and the ridge just S of it is overgrown with trees. No surface remains visible of an earthwork. This appears to be a landscape feature of Craddockstown House, which lies c. 190m to NW. The site is visible as a modern farmyard on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 09 July 2019
