What is recorded here

Situated just below the crest of the SE-facing slope of a hill. Overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank (at NNE: Wth 4m; ext. and int. H 1.3-1.5m). There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth 2.05m) is at E. The interior is divided WNW-ESE by a stone wall-footing, and an L-shaped wall (L 3.6m; 2.1m) to the S possibly represents a house foundation. An outer field bank surround the site S-N, which forms the townland boundary with Reisk W-N. 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: 29 December 2011
