The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 55m E-W; c. 50m N-S) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped field (dims. c. 45m NE-SW; c. 43m NW-SE) with a straight side at SE on the 1927 ed. Situated in pasture on a NW-facing slope, 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.
