What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Leperstown, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 35 metres. The 1999 Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded the site in pasture on a broad plateau, not visible at ground level, although its perimeter might be incorporated into a curved field bank running east to south.
