What is recorded here
The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Curraghkiely is in County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded a circular area about 45 metres across, defined by an earth and stone bank 5 metres wide. That bank stood 1.5 metres high internally and about 1 metre high externally at the southwest, while spoil largely obscured it. No visible fosse or entrance appeared in that account.
Located in mixed woodland towards the bottom of a gentle N-facing slope. Circular area (ext. diam. c. 45m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H c. 1m at SW) largely obscured by spoil. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
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.
