The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated towards the top of a SE-facing slope. It is visible as a slightly dished, grass-covered subcircular area (dims. 36m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by a slight scarp which is best preserved SW-NNW (max. H 0.2m). The entrance cannot be identified. A souterrain (WA002-023002-) was discovered in the interior in 1968.
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.
