What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on high ground overlooking the floodplain of the W-E Blackwater River, c. 500m to the N. This is a flat-topped, grass-covered earthen mound (diam. at top 8.5m; diam. at base 18m; H 1.6-2.2m). It has no visible fosse, kerb or outer bank, and has been removed since 1991. 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: 23 December 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
