The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a rectangular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it backs onto the townland boundary with Kilmanahan, and listed as a possible moated site by Barry (1979, 36). Situated in tillage at the bottom of a N-facing slope, 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.
