What is recorded here

Located on top of a vertical sea cliff, it is known locally as 'The White Lady'. This is a conglomerate stone with a subrectangular cross-section (dims. 1m x 0.3-0.55m; H 1.77m) oriented NW-SE. The top is damaged by frost action, leaving a central high point like a head rising above shoulders. (Decie 1983, 56) Decie (1983) Old Waterford Society survey. Decies, No. 16, 24, 42-57. 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: 10 June 2011
