What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Knocknacrooha Upper, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked an oval embanked enclosure measuring about 70 metres from northwest to southeast and 45 metres from northeast to southwest. The Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded the site in pasture on a south-facing slope and stated that it was not visible at ground level during that account.

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 70m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) only on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in pasture on a S-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. Date of upload/revision: 26th July, 2010.
