The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a D-shaped embanked enclosure or small field (dims. c. 60m E-W; c. 55m N-S) on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is named as 'Lisaraharna' and 'Lios na Cheatharnaigh' respectively. Situated in pasture on a SE-facing slope. Field banks at E and S, with a natural scarp down to the interior at W, form the enclosing element.
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.
