Situated in pasture at the base of a SE-facing slope, at the edge of a marsh. There is local information about the levelling of a mound of broken and burnt stones during land reclamation. It is not visible at ground level.
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.
