The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture on a fairly level landscape. This is a slight, water-filled hollow where patterns had been discontinued by c. 1840, according to J. O'Donovan (O'Flanagan 1929, 22).
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.
