Embanked enclosure

Situated in pasture towards the S end of a short N-S ridge. These are conjoined raths, both possibly bivallate, with abutting inner banks. The S rath is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 25m NE-SW; 23.5m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank which is incorporated into a field wall (Wth 1.4m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.9m) S-W, with an outer earth and stone bank W-NW. The entrance (Wth 2.5m) at W is probably modern. The N rath (WA025-031002-) is attached to the NE. The outer bank may be incorporated into a field wall NE-S, which also circumvents the E side of the N rath. 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: 16th May 2011.
