The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as an oval enclosure on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map and traditionally associated with the burial of victims of the Asiatic cholera epidemic in 1832 (OS Name Books). The area has been developed as an industrial site, and nothing is 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.
