What is recorded here
Located on a shoulder of the E-facing slope of a N-S ridge. Overgrown circular area (diam. 29m) defined by an earthen bank (at WNW: Wth 3.65m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.6m) with slight traces of an outer fosse, which is renewed as a field drain SSW-W-ENE. Stone-facing has been added to the bank E-S. An entrance (Wth 1m) at SSW is probably modern.
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.
