What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cummeen, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded an overgrown circular area measuring 35 metres from north to south at the bottom of a south-facing slope. Its earthen bank, reaching 1 metre high and 2.5 metres wide at the north, joins a stone-faced field bank from the northeast to the south. No visible ditch or entrance was recorded, though spoil had accumulated outside the bank at the south.
