Embanked enclosure

Located on a steep S-facing slope. Circular scrub-covered area (diam. 42m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.3-1.8m) NE-SE and SW-NW, with an outer fosse (Wth of top 8.2m; D 0.6m) SW-NW. The bank is reduced to scarp SE-SW and a scarp down to the interior NW-NE. There is a ramp entrance, probably modern, at SE. An old N-S roadway defined by stone walls bisects the interior. 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: 25th August, 2011.
