What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Carriglea (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 county inventory recorded it as a circular embanked enclosure in level tillage that was not visible at ground level. Two earlier Ordnance Survey maps marked it with slightly different sizes, but no earthwork or entrance remains identifiable there today.

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1st (ext. diam. c. 42m) and 1927 (diam. c. 45m) eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Situated in tillage on a level landscape, it is not visible at ground level. 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: 11th August, 2011. Compiled by: Michael Moore.
