What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyvoyle, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded a 29-metre circular scrub-covered area on a gentle south-facing slope of a broad northwestern to southeastern ridge. A 5.5-metre-wide earthen bank rose 1.2 metres internally and 0.7 metres externally at the north-northwest, while a 3-metre-wide northern entrance opened the circle without a visible surrounding ditch.

Located on the gentle S-facing slope a broad NW-SE ridge. Circular scrub-covered area (diam. 29m) defined by an earthen bank (at NNW: Wth 5.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.7m). There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth 3m) is at N. 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. Date of upload/revision: 26th September 2011
