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 oval grass-covered area measures 40 metres west-southwest to east-northeast and 34 metres north-northwest to south-southeast. Its earthen bank is 3 to 4 metres wide generally and reaches 7 metres at the south-southeast, standing 1.15 to 1.5 metres high internally and 1.25 metres high externally.

Situated towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope in a fairly level landscape. Oval grass-covered area (dims. 40m WSW-ENE; 34m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-4m generally to 7m at SSE; int. H 1.15-1.5m; ext. H 1.25m) with traces of stone facing and some bushes. The entrance (Wth 2.7m) is at E, but there is no visible fosse. It is thought locally to contain an underground chamber (WA024-014002-), but there is no evidence of a Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload/revision: 6th May, 2011.
