What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ballybrack (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded it as a small embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 30 metres, conjoined to a possible ringfort immediately to the east only on the 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map. It is situated in pasture on an east-facing slope, and that same inventory recorded it as not visible at ground level.
