Entrenchment

Situated on a natural grass-covered promontory located off the W interior of promontory fort (WA025-069001-). It is cut off at the landward side by a V-shaped fosse (L c. 14m; Wth 7m; ext. D 2.7m; int. D 2.3m) with a causeway (Wth 1.4m) and the remains of an inner bank. The interior slopes down to the SW (int. dim. c. 18m NE-SW). A possible Man-made underground passage (WA025-069007-) recorded by Tracey (1983) is likely to be a natural fault in the rock. (Westropp 1906) 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: 19th May, 2011.
