The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, below top of ridge, on SW-facing slope. Circular area (29m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by three earthen banks with intervening fosses; shallow external fosse to SW. Inner bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.85m) planted with mature deciduous trees. Middle bank (H 0.85m) separated from inner bank by wide flat-bottomed fosse (D 0.55m), overgrown with trees. Second fosse and outer bank (H 0.55m) survive ENE->NNW. Narrow break in inner bank to NNW and in middle bank to SSW. Field fence, running N-S, crosses enclosure off-centre to E; where field fence cuts through banks, gap exists on both sides.
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.
