What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Kilcannon, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded the circular embanked enclosure at the crest of a southeast-facing pasture slope. That same inventory stated the external diameter as roughly 35 to 40 metres and recorded that it was not visible at ground level during the account's observation.

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35-40m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in pasture at the crest of a SE-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload: 19th May, 2011.
