Marked as a subrectangular wooded enclosure (dims. c. 55m N-S; c. 50m E-W) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch maps, and as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 55m N-S; c. 40m E-W) in a small rectangular field on the 1923 ed. Situated in pasture towards the top of a SE-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level, but it is visible as a cropmark of a bivallate subrectangular enclosure on an OSI series of vertical photographs (2005). 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 January 2012
