What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in An Fhaiche (bar. Na Déise Lasmuigh Den Drom), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 48 metres east-west and 41 metres north-south on a slight southwest-facing slope. An overgrown earthen bank defined the site, reaching 7 metres wide and 3 metres high internally at the northeast, while a modern 13-metre gap at the east-southeast may incorporate the original entrance. No visible fosse accompanied the bank.
