Enclosure in Cutteen North

Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope in the upper Tay river valley. Subcircular area (int. dims. 28m E-W; 23.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2m) with large stones (dims. 1m x 0.4m; H 0.7m) on the outer face, particularly W-NE. The out-turned entrance (Wth 5.4m) at SE (downslope) might not be original and a dry-stone built structure (int. diam. 1.3m) against the inner face of the E wall is secondary. The interior supports dense rush growth in places. It is within field system (WA014-040----), but not connected with any of its walls. 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: 19 November 2010
