The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but with the perimeter missing SE-SW (ext. diam. c. 45m) on the 1927 ed. The bank is incorporated into a stone-faced field boundary (Wth c. 2m; int. H 1-1.7m; ext. H 0.7-1.5m) with spoil accumulated against its inner edge SW-E. Elsewhere the perimeter has been removed (int. diam. 32m).
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.
