The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a large embanked enclosure (diam. c. 55-60m) on the 1840 and 1922 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the crest of a W and N-facing slope. There are traces of a fosse (Wth 3m) at N and a field boundary at S defining an enclosure which is otherwise 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.
