What is recorded here
Marked only on the 1928 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a NW-SE spur on the E side of the Monavullagh Mountains. A N-S tributary of the River Mahon is c. 120m to the W. This is an oval heather-covered area (int. dims. 40m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by the remains of a stone wall (Wth 2-3m) which is partly rebuilt, with traces of a modern rectangular hut at W. A small, circular hut site (WA014-063----) and a clearance cairn are c. 120m outside the enclosure to the SSW.
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.
