What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Graigueshoneen, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked an oval embanked enclosure measuring roughly forty-five metres east-west and thirty-five metres north-south, while the 1926 edition showed a circular feature roughly thirty-five metres across, overlain by a north-northwest to south-southeast field bank. The Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded the site in pasture on a south-facing slope and stated that it was not visible at ground level during that account.
