The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture on a W-facing slope overlooking the mouth of the N-S Dalligan River, with the stream c. 300m to the W and the sea c. 400m to the SW. It is listed as the site of a ‘lios’ in the 1930s (NMI file). A curve in a stone-revetted field bank at W (C c. 30m) may respect the outline of an enclosure, which is otherwise not visible at ground level. Cairn (WA032-023----) is c. 150m to the SSW.
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.
