What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ballybrennock, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked it as a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 60 metres. It sits in pasture at the crest of an east-facing slope, although the inventory recorded that it was not visible at ground level during its examination. Another earthwork lies about 50 metres to the south-southwest.
