What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Parkbeg is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Parkbeg, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 Archaeological Inventory recorded a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 35.5 metres east-west and 33 metres north-south. A slight bank marked the southwest through northwest and southeast edges, while a scarp rose 0.6 to 1.3 metres elsewhere. A slight dip at the east-southeast may have formed the entrance.

Located towards the bottom of a gentle SE-facing slope. Marked faintly as a circular enclosure on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims. 35.5m E-W; 33m N-S) defined by a slight bank SW-NW and SE, and by a scarp (H 0.6-1.3m) elsewhere. The entrance may have been at ESE where there is a slight dip in the perimeter. It is adjacent to an earthwork site (WA002-026----). 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: 23 December 2008
