What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ardnahow, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 Ordnance Survey map marked a subrectangular to subcircular embanked enclosure measuring about 40 metres north-south and 30 metres east-west. The dated inventory recorded that the earthwork was not visible at ground level towards the top of a northwest-facing slope. Another enclosure lies about 30 metres to the southeast, which could be the correct location for this site.
