Situated in a coniferous forest, c. 20m from the S bank of the W-E Licky River, and just NE of a section of what might be an ancient road (WA029-045----). This is a kidney-shaped mound of burnt and broken stones (dims. 15m x 10m; H 1.2-1.6m) open to the SSE where there is a second fulacht fia (WA038-060002-) 6m distant.
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.
