Cistvaen

Situated on the S-facing slope of Tooreen Hill, in a clearing in a coniferous forest. A circle (int. diam. 5.8m NE-SW; 5.4m NW-SE) of eleven conglomerate stones (dims. 0.4-0.8m x 0.15-0.25m; H 0.2-0.65m) with their long axes on the circumference is open (Wth 2.1m) to the NE. It had an outlier in the 1930s (NMI file) but this cannot be found now. 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: Micahael Moore Date of upload/revision: 27 October 2010
