Embanked enclosure

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but with the perimeter missing SE-SW (ext. diam. c. 45m) on the 1927 ed. The bank is incorporated into a stone-faced field boundary (Wth c. 2m; int. H 1-1.7m; ext. H 0.7-1.5m) with spoil accumulated against its inner edge SW-E. Elsewhere the perimeter has been removed (int. diam. 32m). 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. Date of upload/revision: 30th July 2010.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
