What is recorded here

Located on the shoulder of a hill overlooking the ravine of the S-N Curraghteskin stream to the E and the E-W Nier river valley to the N. Subrectangular grass- and heather-covered area (int. dims 96.8m N-S; 85.5m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth 4-7m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 0.6-1m) with some facing stones at N. There are entrances at the N end of the E side (Wth 2.7m) and the S end of the E side (Wth 2.3m), which may be original, but breaks at S (Wth 11m) and at W may represent clearance. 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/revision: 27 October 2010
