What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Barristown, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 County Waterford inventory recorded it as a D-shaped embanked enclosure, about 40 metres from northwest to southeast and 35 metres from northeast to southwest, truncated at the northeast by a northwest-southeast field bank on the 1840 Ordnance Survey six-inch map. The same inventory placed it in pasture at the crest of a low west-facing slope and recorded that it was not visible at ground level during that account.
