What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Drumgullane East, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 40 metres. That same account recorded the site in pasture on a broad plateau and stated that it was not visible at ground level during the observation that produced the description.
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in pasture on a broad plateau, it is not visible at ground level.
