What is recorded here

Situated in a hollow on relatively high ground overlooking the Tay river valley to the W, with the N-S stream c. 200m distant. A souterrain, now destroyed, was investigated in the 1930s by L. Mongey. It comprised a subrectangular chamber (dims. c. 2.4m x c. 1.7m) which was apparently lintelled, and a curving passage (L c. 3m) extending from it to the E. (Mongey 1939) 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: 10th May, 2011.

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.
