What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Greenan (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded a circular area about 35 metres across on a broad north-south ridge, defined by a 3.5-metre-wide earthen bank with external stone-facing. A 2-metre-wide entrance at the southeast was blocked, the bank was destroyed from the west to the northwest, and field-clearance spoil filled the interior.

Situated on a broad N-S ridge. Overgrown circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) with external stone-facing. The entrance (Wth 2m) at SE is now blocked, and there is no visible fosse. The bank is destroyed W-NW and the interior is filled with spoil from field clearance.
