The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the E-W valley of the Abha Beag or Owbeg river, in a scrub-covered area on both sides of the stream. This is an area of c. 5ha with large spoil mounds (L c. 40m; Wth c. 10-20m; H 3-6m) and open quarries which are now ponds of iron-rich water. It is probably one of Sir Richard Boyle's ironworkings dating to the early 17th century, and the road (WA029-005----) may have serviced it.
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.
