Embanked enclosure

Situated on a NE-facing slope overlooking the N-S Tay River c. 100m from the stream. Subcircular scrub-covered area (dims. 54m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank best preserved at W (Wth 4m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 1.55m) but incorporated into an E-W field bank SE-SW. The original entrance could not be identified and there is no visible fosse. A bullaun stone recorded by Power (1952, 148-9) was not located. 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/revision: 9th May, 2011.
