The National Monuments Service's description
Located on top of a broad rise. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 26m) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.7m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.9m). The entrance (Wth 1.7m) is at NE, but there is no visible fosse.
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.
