What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilbryan Lower is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilbryan Lower, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded a circular grass-covered area measuring 30.2 metres north to south and 29.2 metres east to west on a gentle west-facing slope. An earth and stone bank, 2 to 4 metres wide, defines the perimeter with internal and external stone-facing. Slight traces of a 5-metre-wide, 0.2-metre-deep fosse appear south to west-northwest, while a blocked modern west entrance and coniferous trees mark the site today.

Situated on a gentle W-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 30.2m N-S; 29.2m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2-4m; int. H 0.8-1.4m; ext. H 0.8-1.6m), with internal (E-S) and external (WNW-E-S) stone-facing. There are slight traces of a fosse (Wth c. 5m; D 0.2m) S-WNW. The original entrance is not identified, although a modern entrance (Wth 4m) at W is blocked with drystone walling. The bank is planted with coniferous trees NW-E.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 18 November 2010
