What is recorded here

Situated in pasture at the S crest of the gentle S-facing slope of a small hill. Circular scrub-covered area (diam. 31.5m N-S; 31.4m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) W-SE, which is incorporated into a road wall (ext. H 1.8m) SE-SW, and the remains of a bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m) SW-W. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance ramp (Wth 2m) is at NNE. 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. Date of upload/revision: 10th October, 2011 Compiled by: Michael Moore
