What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Tinalira, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked it as a large circular embanked enclosure about 75 metres across. The published inventory recorded it in pasture on a north-facing slope overlooking a small east-west stream about 40 metres to the north, but it was not visible at ground level during that account.
