What is recorded here

Situated on a slight NE-facing slope at the bottom of a W-E valley. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 30m) defined by a widely spread earthen bank (Wth 9-11m; int. H 0.1-0.5m; ext. H 0.3-0.7m). An outer fosse (Wth c. 7m; D 0.4m) survives SSW-N with only traces of it visible NE-S (Wth c. 8-10m). A souterrain (WA002-017003-) is in the bank at W. It is adjacent to an enclosure site (WA002-017001-). 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: 23 December 2008
