The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and visible as a cropmark of a removed earthen bank on vertical aerial photographs (ACAP, V165/74-5). Situated on a S-facing slope c. 550m SW of Belle Lough, it is not visible at ground level, but is visible as a cropmark defined by a double fosse on aerial photographs (MM (78) 0-3).
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.
