What is recorded here
Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and regarded locally as the site of a 'lois'. It is situated on a slight NE-facing slope at the base of a W-E valley. This is a slightly dished, grass-covered circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a slight fosse or berm (Wth 8m) W-N and a slight internal scarp E-S. A rath (WA002-017002-) and Man-made underground passage (WA002-017003-) are adjacent to the S.
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.
