The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a segment of an enclosure SW-N on the 1927 ed. It is located in a newly-planted coniferous forest, on a gentle NE-facing slope at the base of a steep slope of the Comeragh Mountains. Subcircular area (dims. 39m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by a slight scarp with traces of a fosse (Wth 3-4m).
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.
