What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ardeenloun East, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked an oval embanked enclosure measuring roughly 45 metres east to west and 35 metres north to south. It occupied pasture on a west-facing slope above a small north-south valley, with a stream about 100 metres to the west. A field bank curving northwest to east may respect the site outline, but the Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded that the enclosure was otherwise not visible at ground level.

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 45m E-W; c. 35m N-S) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in pasture on a W-facing slope overlooking a small S-N valley, with a stream c. 100m to the W. A field bank curving NW-E may respect the outline of the site; otherwise it is not visible at ground level. 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: 20th December, 2010.
