What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise of a plateau. Marked as a rectangular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 40m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is a subrectangular grass-covered area (dims. 33m NE-SW; 27m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 1.2-2m; ext. H 1.5-2.4m), which is eroded at NE (Wth 8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m) and altered in places by the recent addition of spoil. There is an entrance (Wth 2.1m) at NE, but there is no visible fosse. 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 Octeber 2010
