What is recorded here

Located on a shoulder or col on the NE-facing slope of the Comeragh Mountains. This is an area of c. 2ha on a gentle S-facing slope containing about fifteen grass- and heather-covered clearance cairns (diam. 3-8m; H 0.3m). An old field wall (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.3m) extends NE-SW (L c. 100m) across the site. Also within the cairnfield are a ring-cairn (WA006-014002-) and a booley hut (WA006-014003-). 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: 27th October, 2010.
