H 0.8-1.2m) with external stone-facing, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m) SE-SW. There is no visible fosse or entrance. The bank is planted with coniferous trees.
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.
