The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a S-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (diam. 31m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank best preserved E-S (Wth 6m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.9m) and truncated by a NE-SW field bank at NW. There is no visible fosse. The entrance (Wth 3m) at SSE has been strengthened with stone-facing. A bullaun stone (dims. c. 1.4m x 0.55m; H 0.6m) with a single basin (diam. 0.3m; D 0.15m) is inside the bank at SE.
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.
