The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture towards the W end of the crest of the S-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge. Subcircular scrub-covered area (dims. 27m E-W; 24.5m N-S) defined by an eroded earth and stone bank (Wth 2-4.5m; int. H 0.2-0.8m; ext. H 0.5m at W to 1m at SE), but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 1.4m) downslope SE-SW. The entrance (Wth 1.7m) is at SE, but there is no visible fosse.
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.
