Hilltop enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated at the SE end of a NW-SE ridge or spur, at the S end of the Monavullagh Mountains. It overlooks Dungarvan Bay and the E end of Cappagh valley. This is a large circular grass-covered area (diam. 108m N-S; 103m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 5-6m; H 0.3-0.7m), but with no evidence of a fosse or entrance. It is depicted on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map as a wooded area having the townland boundary with Cloncoskoran on the perimeter SE-W-NW. Rath (WA031-019002-) is in the interior. 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.
