What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ballybrack (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 map showed an oval embanked enclosure measuring about 45 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west, while the 1926 map showed a circular embanked enclosure about 40 metres across. It lies on an east-facing slope above pasture, and the account records that it was not visible at ground level when examined.

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (dims. c. 45m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1840 ed. and as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1926 ed. of the OS 6-inch maps. On the 1840 ed. it is marked as conjoined with the possible ringfort site (WA016-016----) immediately to the W. Situated on an E-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level in pasture. 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
