The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 45m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) backing onto a field bank and towland budnary with Ballynaclogh South at NE on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on the W-facing slope of a hill. This is a small, overgrown oval field defined by drystone walls and rock outcrop. It is possibly not an antiquity. Earthwork (WA017-047----) is c. 60m to the ENE and enclosure (WA026-007----) is c. 60m to the ESE.
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.
