Situated on a bluff overlooking the NE-SW Finisk River which is c. 20m to the S, and now isolated on a stack (H c. 10m) within a disused quarry. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m). A possible souterrain marked on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map is a natural cave. A midden was investigated at the rath or in its vicinity (Ussher 1885-6) when bones, pottery and what might be a stone maul were found, but the location of the midden cannot be identified now.
Ussher, R. J. (1885-6) A description of objects found in the kitchen middens of raths, JRSAI 17, 362-68.
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.
