What is recorded here

Situated on a broad N-S ridge. Overgrown circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) with external stone-facing. The entrance (Wth 2m) at SE is now blocked, and there is no visible fosse. The bank is destroyed W-NW and the interior is filled with spoil from field 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. Date of upload/revision: 23 December 2008
