H 1.6m at SE) with evidence of external and internal stone-facing. There are traces of an outer fosse NE-SW which is replaced by a berm (Wth 10m) SW-NE. There is no visible entrance.
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.
