Located on a gentle SE-facing slope. The grass-covered remains of a house (WA039-035002-) (ext. dims. 21m NE-SE; 9m NW-SE) with an entrance (Wth 1.2m) at the N end of the SE side, and a yard (dims. 22m x 21m) off-set to the E and N are in a field called Pairc an Reachtaire - the Steward's field, on the E side of a N-S lane. It is associated with a field system covering c. 10 ha in a fleld called An Gort Mór - the big field, on the W side of the lane that also contains the fulacht fia (WA039-034----). The fields are rectangular (dims. c. 100m x 50m) defined by low banks or scarps traversed by an old roadway or wide silted drain (Wth 2.8m; L c. 200m). A raised platform (dims. 50m E-W; 39m N-S) to the N is located at the junction of two old stream-beds.
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.
