What is recorded here
The fairy fort or ringfort in Cruabhaile Uachtarach (bar. Na Déise Laistigh Den Drom) is in County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 Ordnance Survey map marked a faint circular enclosure about 35 metres across in level pasture. A curved field bank, roughly 26 metres long from southeast to west, may still respect that outline, although the inventory recorded the site as otherwise not visible at ground level.
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in pasture on a level landscape. A curved field bank (C 26m) SE-W may respect the outline of an enclosure, but otherwise it is not visible at ground level.
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.
