What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Deerpark North, County Waterford, Ireland. The site occupies a slight rise in a level landscape and preserves a circular grass-covered area reaching 64.4 metres from east-northeast to west-southwest. An overgrown earthen bank, between 2 and 3 metres wide and showing traces of stone-facing, defines the circle while joining a field bank from north-northwest to south. The entrance faces east-northeast, and no visible fosse appears beside the surviving earthwork.
