Cairn

Situated on the summit of Knocknafallia Mountain. This is a stone spread (diam. 12m; H 0.8-1.2m) with ten visible kerbstones. Every second stone is set radially, the rest are set along the circumference (diam. 9m). A cist (dims. 0.8m x 0.6m; H 0.5m) is at the SE edge of the cairn and there is a hollow at the centre. The cairn is surrounded by a low bank (Wth 1-3m; H 0.1-0.2m) c. 20m from its outer edge. 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
