The National Monuments Service's description
Described as a Danish fort on a map of Lord Cremone's estates (NLI: ms. 3201, 22), dated 1777-80), and marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 45m E-W c. 35m N-S) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in a garden on a gentle SW-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.
