The National Monuments Service's description
In ringfort (CO017-07701-). Jones (1910, 53) noted that 'a passage runs from this fort towards the river Awbeg', suggesting presence of possible souterrain. Killanin and Duignan (1962, 193) noted that 'on Oldcourt Hill is a trivallate ringfort with a souterrain'. No visible surface trace; interior of ringfort heavily overgrown.
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.
