H 2.1m) N->WNW; truncated by field boundary WNW->N. External fosse (D 1.65m) survives NNE->ESE; inaccessible due to overgrowth and dumped branches. Entrance (Wth 8m) to SSE. Interior grass-covered; raised on S side to compensate for hillslope.
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.
