The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on high ground overlooking the floodplain of the W-E Blackwater River, c. 500m to the N. This is a flat-topped, grass-covered earthen mound (diam. at top 8.5m; diam. at base 18m; H 1.6-2.2m). It has no visible fosse, kerb or outer bank, and has been removed since 1991.
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.
