What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Garranturton, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked an oval embanked enclosure measuring about 44 metres from north-west to south-east and 25 metres from north-east to south-west. The published County Waterford inventory recorded the site in pasture on a low rise at the bottom of a valley and stated that it was not visible at ground level during that account.
