What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Kilbride South, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked an oval embanked enclosure measuring roughly 50 metres north-south and 35 metres east-west, while the 1925 edition marked a bank portion running roughly 30 metres from northwest to northeast. The site occupies pasture on a gentle southwest-facing slope within a slight col, with higher ground just to the northeast and about 300 metres to the southwest. The published county inventory recorded that it is not visible at ground level.
