What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilmacomma is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilmacomma, County Waterford, Ireland. A 1977 account recorded it as a 32-metre-diameter ringfort with an earthen bank reduced to a scarp on the north side. About 1980 the earthwork was removed during work that exposed a man-made underground passage in the east bank.

Situated in pasture towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. Described in 1977 as a ringfort (diam. 32m) defined by an earthen bank which was reduced to a scarp at N (SMR file). It was removed c. 1980 when a Man-made underground passage (WA001-007001-) was revealed in the bank at E. 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: 23 December 2008
