What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyvoony, County Waterford, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a gentle east-facing slope and forms a circular grass-covered area 32.5 metres across. A 6.5-metre-wide earth and stone bank, reaching 0.75 metres internally and 1.4 metres externally at the south-southeast, surrounds the site with traces of stone-facing on both sides. A 3.1-metre-wide entrance opens upslope at the west, but no visible ditch accompanies it, and the interior shows cattle erosion.
