Situated on top of a broad hill overloooking the valley of the W-E Bride river, which is to the S. This is an overgrown subcircular area (dims. 46m E-W; 39m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) with an external stone-facing. The possible entrance is a a gap (Wth 3.2m) at E, but there is no visible fosse.
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.
