What is recorded here

According to Power (1898, 51) there had been a moat, that had long been removed but was remembered locally c. 1900, within c. 100m of the find-spot of a Late Bronze Age hoard of tools and weapons (WA030-040----). He suggests that it may have been a crannog, which is unlikely, but it remains unlocated. Power, Rev. P. (1898c) On a find of Bronze implements in Co. Waterford. WAJ 4, 47-53.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WA030-064
