What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Ballynaraha, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded it as a large circular embanked enclosure, about 75 to 80 metres across, marked on the 1840 and 1927 Ordnance Survey six-inch maps. That same account placed it in pasture near the top of a south-east-facing slope, with a steeper descent toward the west-northwest to east-southeast River Bride about 300 metres to the south, and stated that it was not visible at ground level during the inventory’s observation.
