What is recorded here

Situated on the E side of the summit of a broad hill. Described (NMI file) as a roughly circular area (ext. diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H c. 1-1.5m), with an entrance at SE but with no visible fosse. A souterrain (WA040-001002-) was discovered when the rath was removed in 1954. It is not visible at ground level when planted with a cereal crop. 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 2011
