What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Dunhill, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked the site as a small circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 30 metres. The 1999 Archaeological Inventory recorded the pasture setting on a slight rise of a south-east-facing slope and stated that the enclosure was not visible at ground level during that account.
