The National Monuments Service's description
Rectangular area defined by outer line of hachures on 1842 OS 6-inch map, with chamfered SW corner forming a fifth side and inner line of hachures defining circular interior; indicated as roughly rectangular enclosure (c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. According to local information, levelled 1974-1984 during land reclamation. In marshy scrubland. No visible surface trace of site. May be 'quadrangular' fort (48yds x 43yds) on Denis O'Sullivan's land, described by Bowman (1934, 374) as double-ramparted with outer rampart removed and fosse infilled; possible souterrain (13326) in NE quadrant. Second fort (12934) is described by Bowman (ibid.) as separate but entering into SW corner of quadrangular fort.
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.
