The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Depicted as hachured circular raised area, incorporated into townland boundary ENE->S on 1842 OS 6-inch map. According to local information, levelled c. 1940s. Roughly circular area (34m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by low rise (H 0.35m) S->NE; low earthen field boundary (H 0.5m) NE->S, built within living memory. Low rise clearly visible due to differential growth pattern. External fosse survives as shallow depression WSW->NE.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
