Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Suboval/ subrectangular grass-covered area (dims. 59m WNW-ESE; 47m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at SE: Wth 4m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.75m) which has been straightened and incorporated into a field bank along two sections WNW-ESE. The entrance (Wth 2.5m) at SSE is probably modern, and there is no visible fosse. 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: 6th May, 2011.
