Situated on a gentle W-facing slope with a NE-SW stream 20m to the NW. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims. 59m N-S; 49m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2-5m; int. H 0.3m at W (downslope) to 1.2m at E; ext. H 0.7m at E to 4m at W). There is no visible fosse, and the entrance cannot be identified, but there are gaps in the perimeter at S, SW and NW. A souterrain (WA013-012002-) is in the interior at NW. 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: 12 November 2010
