What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40-45m) and situated on top of a low hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 26m) defined by a broadly spread earthen bank (Wth 5-8m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.35m) truncated W-NW by a NE-SW field bank. There were traces of a fosse (Wth 2.5m; ext. D 0.5m) at NW in 1982 (SMR file) that have since been eroded, and there is no visible entrance. 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: 6th May, 2011.
