What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ballyhussa, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked an embanked circular enclosure with an external diameter of about 35 to 40 metres. That map also placed the site in pasture on a gentle south-facing slope, although the Archaeological Inventory recorded that it was not visible at ground level during its examination.
