What is recorded here

Located in pasture on a W-facing slope at the mouth of the N-S Dalligan River, with the stream c. 270m to the W and the sea c. 240m to the SW. It is described as a cairn which was destroyed c. 1920 (NMI file). Some clearance material is still evident. Cairn (WA032-022001-) is c. 120m to the W, ringfort (WA032-024----) is c. 150m to the NNE, and ringfort (WA032-026----) is c. 160m to the ESE. 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: 26th September, 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.
