The National Monuments Service's description
Within rath (WA026-024001-) and incorporated in the perimeter at SW according to the 1840 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map. A souterrain that is described locally as having two chambers was closed in the third quarter of the 20th century. 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.
