What is recorded here

Marked as 'Castle (Site of)' on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a level landscape. This is a slightly raised and dished, grass-covered area (diam. 27m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 10-15m; int. D 0.4m; ext. D 0.2m). There is no visible entrance. With a wide fosse or moat it may be a circular moated site. 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.
