D 0.8m at N to - 1.3m at E) survives complete, with an external stone-faced bank (Wth c. 2m; ext. H c. 0.5m) incorporated into a field bank NE-S. The entrance (Wth 3m) at SE has been widened. 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: 01 November 2010
