Situated towards the top of a SW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 29.8m E-W; 29.2m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3-4.5m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 0.8m W-N (upslope) to 1.7m E-S) with an outer fosse (Wth at base 1.5-3m; D 0.8-1.4m). An outer stone-faced bank (Wth 1.5-2.5m; ext. H 0.7-1.2m) may be modern. The entrance (Wth 2.6m) and causeway are at SW, but there is no break in the outer bank at this point. A sunken area (dims. 2.5m N-S; 1.3m E-W; D 1m) just NW of the centre may be a souterrain. The interior is planted with coniferous trees.
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.
