Marked as a fort at Canmucky townland on a 1717 Bateman map (NLI, MSS 6148, 5). but it is not marked on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated in mixed woodland at the edge of a severe S-facing slope overlooking the W-E Owenasack stream, which is c. 160m distant. This is a circular area (diam. 27m) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m) SW-NE where it is incorporated into a field bank, and it is best preserved (Wth 7m; int. H 2m; ext. H 2.2m) N-NE where an outer round-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6m; D 1.2m) survives. There is no evidence of the perimeter NE-SW, or of the entrance.
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.
