A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

Marked as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. There are slight traces of a circular area (diam. 30m) defined by a low, grass-covered scarp (H 0.1m) NW-S. A curved field boundary (C 25m) E-S respects the line of the enclosure. 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. Date of upload/revision: 3rd August, 2010.
