Why this matters

A cairnfield containing clearance cairns and a hut-site, likely dating to the Bronze Age; it reflects settlement and land-use patterns in the upper Tay river valley.

What is recorded here

Situated on a SE-facing slope between two streams in the upper Tay river valley. This is a grass-covered area of c. 4ha containing about twenty clearance cairns (diams. 2-5m; H 0.3-0.6m). It also contains the hut-site (WA014-056001-). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 November 2010
