The National Monuments Service's description

Marked as a rectangular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on high ground c. 200m from sea cliffs to the E. This is a D-shaped, grass-covered area (dims. 21m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) with straight sides at SW (ext. L c. 25m) and NW (ext. L 17.5m), defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2-0.6m). Two upright stones (1.1m apart) on the bank at NW may represent a blocked entrance. There is no visible fosse, and no internal features are visible.

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.
