The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope within a slight basin with the head of an E-W stream c. 100m to the S and slightly higher ground all around, except to the W. Overgrown, low flat-topped mound (diam. c. 15m; H 0.5m) separated by a grass-covered berm (Wth 8.5m) from a wet, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 0.2-0.4m). A grass-covered outer berm (Wth c. 11m) separates the fosse from a slight outer fosse (Wth 2.5m; max. D 0.5m) NE-SE. The outer fosse is visible NW-S (max. ext. diam. c. 65m) on vertical aerial photographs (ACAP, V186/4-6).
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.
