The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on N-facing slope, in demesne of Model Farm. Indicated on 1842, 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), planted with trees. Roughly circular, heavily overgrown area (36.4m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.4m); narrow external fosse (D 0.2m). Shallow drain-like feature runs inside N bank and concentric with it; not noted to E, area too overgrown to S and W to inspect. Some trees remain in the interior. Locally known as tree ring.
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.
