What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilnafrehan East, County Waterford, Ireland. It occupies the top of a northwest-southeast ridge as a circular grass-covered area measuring 39 metres northwest-southeast and 37 metres northeast-southwest. An earth and stone bank defines the site, reaches 1 to 1.5 metres high externally, and reduces to a scarp in places.

Located on top of a NW-SE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 39m NW-SE; 37m NE-SW) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.3-1m; ext. H 1-1.5m) NNE-SE which is curtailed by a NE-SW field bank at NW and reduced to a scarp (H 0.8-1.2m) elsewhere. An entrance (Wth 1.5m) at E might not be original and only slight traces of an outer fosse survive. A rath (WA031-011----) is immediately adjacent to the SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload: 25th August, 2011.
