What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1840 (ext. diam. c. 35m) and 1926 (ext. diam. c. 45m) eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described locally as a ‘lios’ that was removed c. 1970. Situated in pasture towards the top of the E-facing slope of the NW-SE Ballymacart river valley with the stream c. 300m to the E, it is not visible at ground level. 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: 17 October 2010
