Slippery Island — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Located in pasture on a coastal promontory. A narrow isthmus (Wth 6.2m) is defended by a slight inner bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 1.1m) and outer depression or fosse (Wth 7.8m; ext. D 1.2m; int. D 2.2m). Evidence for a second inner bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.85m) can be seen just inside the first, with a causeway (Wth 2-2.4m) across the fosse. The interior is very narrow (L c. 80m N-S). 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: 10th May, 2011.
