What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Carriglea (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded it as pasture on a level landscape where the earthwork was not visible at ground level. Two earlier Ordnance Survey map editions marked the circular embanked enclosure, with external diameters of roughly 35 metres in 1840 and roughly 50 metres in 1927.
