The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) truncated slightly by a N-S field bank at E on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a broad, low plateau. Slightly dished, grass-covered, D-shaped area (dims. 34m N-S; 26m E-W) truncated by the field bank at E and defined by a scarp elsewhere. The scarp is best preserved W-N (Wth 9m; H 0.9m). A possible standing stone (WA006-007002-) is 12m to the W.
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.
