The National Monuments Service's description

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) truncated by an E-W field bank at N on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in a garden at the crest of a 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.
