What is recorded here
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in scrubland on low-lying, marshy ground. A circular area is visible as a cropmark (ext. diam. c. 35m) defined by the positive feature of a removed bank (Wth c. 5m) on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDQ 99). It is barely perceptible as a change in vegetation (ext. diam. 26-27m) at ground level.
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.
