What is recorded here
Fairy fort / ringfort in Ballyvoyle is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ballyvoyle, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded it in pasture on a shelf of a west-facing slope overlooking the north-south Dalligan River, with the stream about 350 metres to the west. A curve in a field bank at the west, about 30 metres across, may respect the outline of an enclosure that was otherwise not visible at ground level during that account.
