Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape with the estuary of the W-E Brickey River c. 350m to the SW and c. 700m to the S. Oval grass-covered area (dims. 38m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth 6m) which is visible in places as a change in vegetation (Wth 6-7m generally to 11m at N), with traces of a second fosse (Wth c. 5m) visible as lush vegetation separated from the inner fosse by a parched area (Wth 5m) E-S. There is no identifiable entrance.
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.
