Situated on a slight SE-NW spur with the headwaters of a SE-NW stream c. 100m to the SW. This is a dished, circular grass-covered area (diam. 17.6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (max. ext. H 0.6m). It is badly eroded with the bank destroyed at NE (max. ext. dims. 21.4m E-W; 19.2m N-S). A ring-barrow (WA013-005----) is c. 70m to the NW. 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
