The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1922 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m). It is situated on a shelf towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope of the N-S Annestown river valley with the stream c. 190m to the E. Subcircular grass-covered area (diam. 16.7m NE-SW; 15m NW-SE) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 1.8-2.7m; int. H 0.1m at SE to 0.6m at NE; ext. H 0.4-0.7m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth of base 1-1.4m; D 0.1-0.3m) SW-N-E. The probable entrance (Wth 2m) is at SSE.
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.
